NoteTab for note-taking

Does anyone know of a free text editor (that works with and saves in .txt files) that 1) can display word count in the window somewhere, and 2) can show a list of the text files in the directory where the files are being saved.

I’m currently using a NoteTab Pro trial to do this. The word count is fine, and there is a “Quick List” feature that shows a list of the text files that are open (which is not the same as 2), but will do).

However, otherwise I’m a ‘lite’ user of NoteTab, so I’m not sure I want to buy the PRO version just to have word count. Any suggestions?

Oh, and Markdown support would be a bonus :) Maybe there is a way to do it with NoteTab, but I haven’t figured out how…
