I'm having some trouble with this. I create a folder called "Application Support" (no quotes) at the root of my Dropbox install, drag/drop the BBEdit folder from Library and then make sure the one under ~/Library/ is deleted.
Every time I start up BBEdit, the folder under ~/Library/ gets re- created. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
