I am specifically thinking about that Web Sharing is gone in ML, which

This is the point where everyone who's currently using BBEdit to
edit their HTML files while running on 10.8 jumps in to tell you
how wrong you are. I'll save them the trouble. You're mistaken.
:-) BBEdit's ability to edit HTML files, or any other type of
file, does not depend on Apache or any other web service.
"Preview in BBEdit" works without Apache or any other web
service. If you wish, you *can* run previews through a local web
server, and of course you'll need Apache (web sharing) running
on your machine.
Although I know I can mock around in terminal to set various
stuff so that apache and port 80 is enabled again, it is not
something I look forward doing, and therefore I am still with
Lion just because I don't want to waste valuable time just to
be able to continue to do what I was doing.
I think that is a perfectly valid complaint, but one that should
be directed in Apple's direction.
Are you going to provide built-in means to enable local web
server so that I can easily continue to edit web pages
locally? (Which of course requires some form of "web sharing"
so that all css and server side includes behave the same as on
the "real" public server).
We are not. The Apache supplied with the OS is serviceable for
the purpose, and as you may have noticed, others have come up
with workarounds to fill the gap left by the disappearing "Web
Sharing" check box in the system Sharing preferences. It is not,
however, our place to undertake that effort, nor will we attempt
to replicate the Apache services already provided by the OS, for
that way lies madness.
Just as the rendering inside BBEdit does not support Retina,
neither does the rendering of the preview of the html pages
support Retina, so they are also fuzzy and pixelated, also on
BBEdit 10.1.2.
We know. :-) As previously expressed, we are aware of the issues
on Retina display Macs.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
