mac text editor or IDE

I'm needing a Mac text editor or IDE. I've tried TextMate and skEdit and TextWrangler.

TextMate is great, but I want to be able to identify the matching opening or closing tag of a selected tag - same for opening and closing brackets (code folding is the bastard stepchild of token matching). This functionality is one reason I am a devotee of PHP Designer on Windows - and still not convinced that OS X is in any way a superior development environment.

Until then, I'm using TextMate because it's OK. Basically, my move to the Mac (at work) is being hindered by lacking software offerings.

EDIT: Oh, and I want something that does live syntax checking, so if I miss a closing tag, it highlights the opening tag bright red or something.

look in preferences - code highlighting/hints have a load of options - I'm sure they highlight missing tags.

Can't say for sure - not on my Mac.
