Hi I code for a living and have been using BBEdit pretty much since it was ‘a thing’, it runs on Macs only but all the work I do is on Linux. Everyone once in a while I take a look around to see what else there is, mostly as an insurance policy (the 90’s were a dark time for Macintosh), but for what I do there is nothing that comes even close, and I use probably 60%-70% of the features it offers. If I was going to put my finger on one feature it would be Projects, they allow me to manage multiple code bases very easily (combined line count is closing in on 7 digits).
Ultimately it comes down to what you are looking for. If you want to edit a few files there are a myriad of choices out there. If you make your living coding then BBEdit is great and time put into learning it is well rewarded in the long run.
