FoldingText is a very intelligent plaintext editor for the Mac. It understands the document structure and allows you to fold sections and even focus sections to work on (like an outliner). It understands a flavour of Markdown and lets you create Todos and Timers within the same document.

Looks interesting. I use Workflowy (http://workflowy.com) for a lot of the use cases - outlines, folding text in long notes, todo lists, etc.
