Whew! This is bound to bring out the evangelists. First, BBEdit is Mac OS only. Notepad++is Windows only and Brackets appears to be platform agnostic. I’ve not tried either of those.
BBEdit is, to say the least, powerful. I’m not a heavy weight user and only use a fraction of what the program is capable of doing. Without making lists here, you can view the seven chapter product tour starting at <http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/benefitsexercise.html <http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/benefitsexercise.html>>. I see a link to Testimonials on that page too. I only write and maintain a few web sites and _might_ be able to do my work with a lesser product but having all the options are worth it to me. My daughter uses a much more expensive Adobe product (more of a WYSIWYG interface) but I prefer cleaner coding that I get with BBEdit. Tips and tricks? Read the manual and try things out. Read the product tour and pick out things that appeal to your method of working. Pick out things that will solve problems for you. Read the manual and try things out. Continue monitoring this group because there are some wonderful helpful people here. > On Nov 27, 2017, at 9:51 AM, Madelyn Bingham <madelyn.bing...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Can someone tell me what makes BBEdit different or better than other code > editors?
