I use a BBEdit worksheet to run my machine. (It's mostly because I still use
MPW to run my classic Macs.)
The "snippets" are mostly shell scripts, including perl, that I can select and
run right from the worksheet. I start each snippet with a tag line like this
#index:\t some_name_I_can_remember
There is an AppleScript that will scan the file and make "marks" that show in
the Mark menu for each of the index lines. Often the snippets are little more
than a call to the bbedit tool or a simple open command with a full path to
something I'm working on. Other snippets are perl scripts that operate on the
currently open BBEdit document. Still others call osascript << END to run
AppleScripts that depend on environment variables. Simple build commands,
specialized backups, scp to and from a server. . . . .
What frustrates me about BBEdit is that I can't display the marks
alphabetically. (I got used to that in MPW where I can also redirect script
output to >> "{Active}")

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
Roughly, though not thoroughly, thought through.
