ProWritingAid isn't a text editor; it's an editorial assistant. While it has some AI components, it's really a glorified grammar checker (and pretty good at it).
Yes, TextEdit (the correct name for what you term "Text Editor" ) is an editor, as is BBEdit, which is not a subscription-based app. You buy it once, and some upgrades require an additional payment. BBEdit is good, but I like Sublime Text better.

I never heard of Plus, and will avoid it.
It would be nice if you at least mentioned the other editors you looked at, so we have some further comparison. Did you look at Sublime Text, VSCode, MacVim, EMACS? Text editors are a serious topic among some people, and more information about what you looked at and what you found would be interesting.
