I use TeXShop and BBEdit. My basic working document is in TeXShop. It looks like this:
% !TEX TS-program = pdflatexmk
\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
…
\begin{document}
some TeX
...
\include{stdmodel}
\include{geometry}
\include{linspaces-and-flats}
\include{risk-components}
...
\end{document}
The \include files, stdmodel.tex, etc., are written with BBEdit.
I particularly like the line wrapping feature of BBEdit. Typically I maintain 72-character lines.
In the end, I copy all my BBEdit files into one TeXShop file---but I prefer to work things out in BBEdit. I feel I have more control there.
I have been using BBEdit since it was freeware. Perhaps I am prejudiced.
Regards,
Vic
