Well my 2 cents is that what I see now is products in the MAS getting
updates later and generally being a 2nd rate service compared to the
vender. As long as I am able I will always buy direct from the vendor
which does a couple of other things. It puts a couple more dollars in
the vendors pocket vs apple and the vendor has a record of who bought
his product for possible future upgrade prices. From talking to some
vendors they have told me they have no idea or records who bought
their product. Specific to bbedit and this list Rich has let us know
when there are trial releases available. At least on mine these are
still running as fully licensed versions, I don't know if you could
even do that with a MAS version.

Dumb question but with Apple requiring sandbox rules come November
for all apps in the app store will that result in any more limits
for the version of BBEdit sold there? I'm here thinking of
Applescripts run from within BBEdit.
I know Daniel Jalkut, over at Red Sweater, has been worried about
this with some of his apps. The big issue is that to send
Applescript you have to specify in advance to Apple which
applications you will be sending them to. I don't know if that would
be an issue or not with the way BBEdit handles its Applescripts.
I ask simply because I'm trying to decide whether to order from the
MAS or the version you sell direct. I'm leaning towards the direct
version purely on this issue. But if it won't be an issue I'll just
get it from MAS.
