Text editors like BBEdit (and Sublime Text, Vim, Emacs, etc.) only appeal to a circle of nerds in the first place.
Quasi-seriously, I think BBEdit often seems to be of the opinion that shortcuts are for wimps in general. I'm pretty sure that things like auto-pairing and syntax-aware indenting have been requested for years and rejected, and discussions about it tend to show two rather black-and-white standpoints on the subject that boil down to "those are the best things ever" and "those are crutches that get in the way."
