Looking for one of my favorites in BBEdit, "find differences" and have not found it.


There is a jdiff plugin, but it isn't as good as BBEdit's. However, finding differences is (IMHO) useless unless you are using a source code management system.

Well, we are! If the comparison functionality - both within a script and for multiple files - is less efficient than BBEdit, that would be a shame, as it's one of the features most heavily used by our team, forming the core of an efficient code management system between four developers, over fifty interlinked projects and multiple servers.

I'm not against jEdit per se, and all credit if it's your editor of choice. The only compelling reasons I've heard to switch to jEdit are syntax highlighting and macros, so far, and the points which you have pointed out as bonuses are either irrelevant or negative points in our working environment. I'm sure that with time and effort to have our developers re-adjust to a new programming environment, it may pay off, but we have no qualms with BBEdit, around which much of our core project management system is based. The effort, time and hit on efficiency which would be caused by needing to adjust a team and the project management system to fit a new application just isn't worth the change, for now at least.
