Fine with me :-), but in case anyone ELSE is interested:
1. BBEdit windows DO split vertically -- if what that means is
showing two different areas of the same file, one above the
other in the same window, both scrollable, editable, etc.
2. BBEdit allows having the same file open in multiple windows,
so "as it works now, I can open A file in A window" is not an
accurate statement.
3. I know I am not alone on this list as someone who has "many
files to edit", and might even use more than one monitor at a
time. Many of us get serious work done with BBEdit, day in, day
out. And not only serious work, but also learning and playing
(if your definition of play allows space for algorithms, data
structures, logic poems, etc.).
Hope these points are reassuring to anyone thinking about using
BBEdit. Too bad it didn't meet the grade for the OP...
I use several editors, MacVim, IntelliJ, Sublime 2, and
SubethaEdit.. most of them can do vertical splits (not SEE).
With many files to edit, I always have multiple splits
(vertical). I have 5 monitors, and prefer to split my app
across 2 monitors and have 3-4 vertical splits . IntelliJ
allows me to do this, as does Sublime 2, which is great. This
allows me to have a set of files I'm working on, and refer to
several other files in the process. I find this invaluable.
The recent BBEdit announcement intrigued me, and it does appear
to have some nice features. If an editor has some useful
features, I'm interested in using it, but without the vertical
split, I'd find the tool somewhat limiting..
Oh.. and the multiple window view is not really suitable. It
*would* be if I coud open multiple files in multiple windows,
but as it works now, I can open A file in A window, if I wanted
to have several other files open, I'd have to have several
other windows.. that might work, but with other editors like
Sublime and IntelliJ available, I'll pass on BBEdit for now..
