Existing users, 
I was thinking about buying PDFpen in order to be able to edit text files.
Sadly, you can't really.
You can delete text blocks, but you can't move them.
If you edit a text block, the font is likely to change.
So you get raggedy-andy text.
Just not good enough.
Price is absurd - as an alternative to Preview at a much lower price, PDFpen would be an interesting alternative layout. Think pro at $50, normal at $25. Frankly, they should both be bundled into a single application (pro) at $30. Volume is where the money is with basic utilities.
Outside of editing text blocks, there's not much that preview doesn't do now.
PDFpenPro

Another sad comment form someone that doesn't know what this product does.It IS NOT a text editor, it IS a PDF editor.
See my reply to the last comment. This product works well.
Don't rely on the feedback of people that don't even know what it does.
