As pointed out by others, you can disable the appending of .txt to
files, but TextEdit isn't the best for CSS.
For a text editor for CSS (And generally, also HTML), you can go with a
program like pico, or various other command-line programs. I wouldn't go
that route, as I find other programs are often faster to use.
If you want to pay for a text editor, you should try out the demo of
BBEdit,
which can be found on the BBEdit site,
http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/
BBEdit Lite has been discontinued by Bare Bones Software, and has been
replaced
by TextWrangler, http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/
however it costs $49.
I'm still using BBEdit Lite.
If you hunt around a bit, BBEdit Lite can still be found in places such
as
VersionTracker. BBEdit Lite doesn't really have much in the way of
CSS related features, but it is a very powerful text editor.

I don't believe there would be any differences between other operating
systems
and OS X for php, aside from enabling it. On OS X, you just need to edit
httpd.conf and restart apache, but I don't remember what needs to be
edited.
Hope this helps,
