BBEdit is remarkably powerful, extensible, and more importantly useable.

That's very Windows-like and un-Mac-like behavior.  I personally don't like it. 
 However:

You can hit Option-UP/DOWN to move the cursor to the top or bottom visible line 
of the window no matter where you are in the document.

You can hit Command-Shift-J to move the cursor to the middle of the currently 
visible part of the document, although the text has to extend past the middle 
of same for this to work.

Confirmed on my system (Snow Leopard).

I'm pretty sure this can be done on a per document-type basis.  You might 
search the archives.
