TextEdit is included with OS X.
You can change it to Plain Text (
JasonFormat > Make Plain Text
) for non-RTF text editing, or make Plain Text the default (Preferences > Format

As already stated, TextEdit is the notepad of OS X (although a more powerful notepad that is). For more advanced stuff, TextMate (already recommended) is very nice. A nice free and famous alternative is Bare Bones's TextWrangler.
You can do pretty much with either.

FYI - you can default TextEdit to plain text when it opens:
- Goto preferences
- Under Format, click on 'Plain Text'

Editra for Mac is simple, free, open-source, highly configurable. All in all, it's my favorite Windows Notepad replacement for the Mac.

I recommend Textmate, that works out-of-the-box just like notepad, plus you can activate (if you wish) more and more functions.
