“Got a favorite Mac software title? Tell me about it. I might like it, too. Or not.”
The Mac editor I love to hate. BBEdit has been around forever, does nearly everything despite a creaking, aging interface. It’s the one text editor I cannot throw away despite both opportunity and attempts. As BareBones Software puts it, “It doesn’t suck.” As much.
An intelligent interface provides easy access to BBEdit’s best-of-class features, including grep pattern matching, search and replace across multiple files (even unopened files on remote servers), project definition tools, function navigation and syntax coloring for numerous source code languages, code folding, FTP and SFTP open and save, AppleScript, Mac OS X Unix scripting support, text and code completion, and of course a complete set of robust HTML tools.
