OS X: Rich text editor with regex #

Bean has been under constant development for years; it's been listed on the OS X page since version 0.94 (current version is 3.2.9). In addition to supporting a host of file formats (rtf, rtfd, plain text, webarchive, doc, docx, and odt), Bean is the only rich text editor I have found for OS X which also supports regex find/replace.

UPDATE: TextEdit has limited, predefined regexes available for finding (but not replacing); access via Cmd+F followed by Control+Option+Command+P (or just click the tiny magnifying glass icon in the Find field):
