I'm not sure how they are contradictory at all. My desire is for BBEdit to function the way the vast majority (> 99%?) of all Mac applications work. That is, when I start BBEdit, regardless of what documents are set to be loaded on startup (be it a new blank text document or the files that were open when the program last closed), I want the main text editing window to have the same size and position it had when BBEdit closed.
Examples of this are Firefox, Safari, Textmate and Coda, just to name a few. If you take Firefox as an example. Regardless of whether I have it set to load tabs from the previous session on startup, the main Firefox window retains whatever position and size it had when it last closed.
