What is a Plain Text Editor?

What is a text editor?:
A text editor is a program that allows you to edit 'plain text' files including .txt, .html, .php, .cgi, and many more. Unlike a word processing program, no formatting or other information is saved, only the text (or in our case code) itself is saved.
Do I already have one?:
On a Windows computer the default/included program is called Notepad. On a Mac, you can do text editing in TextEdit if you set it to plain text mode (Format > Make Plain Text)
