CPM is what is known as an IDE (Integrated Development Environment). TextWrangler is just a text editor. The features of an IDE is not only can it edit files, usually with some syntax highlighting and code completion, but it lets you manage all of your project files together. IDE’s generally also let you compile and run your program from within and when there are errors in the compile process, it will show you the errors directly in your code to help you speed up development.
Some popular IDE’s include XCode and Eclipse, neither of which really support Lua all that well and don’t really help much with Corona.
CPM was the first IDE that members of the community.

There’s now a free version of CPM available if you just want to try it out – it’s on the download page and while there are a few limitations compared to the paid version, you can use it as long as you like.
