That's been pretty much my experience, too. I almost never used the BBEdit HTML 
tools because they seemed to be rather "mouse-centric" in ways that didn't 
generally work with my workflow. And frankly, the HTML tools looked like 
something from System 7. I know that to long-time BBEdit users this probably 
didn't matter, but to anyone who used any editor that started in the OS X era, 
having one of those dialog boxes pop up in 2010 was... kind of shocking, and 
contributed an awful lot to the perception, as unfair as it may have been, that 
BBEdit was a product from another era.

I believe what the video linked tacitly points out is this. Yes, now when you 
highlight a string in the file and hit Command-Control-A to make it an anchor 
link, you have to type h r <tab> before hitting Command-V <return>, which is 
three extra keystrokes compared to before.  But if instead you hit Command-V 
and highlight *that* string, then hit Command-Control-A <return> and type the 
link text, isn't it the same number of keystrokes as previous versions to 
accomplish the same thing?
