I tend to agree, but I suggest you give TeXShop a try and then  
decide. TeXShop has some nice features that are not readily available  
(or at all) in TextWrangler (e.g., autocompletion).

One place you can find information about integration of LaTeX with  
BareBones' editors is at:

All the best,
