The biggest reason I've used it and stuck with it for nearly 20 years is it is technology agnostic. I've written production C, C++, assembler, Bash and Ash scripts, Makefiles, Perl, Python, PHP, HTML, CSS and more in it. I primarily work on embedded systems and Linux driver code. It does it all handily in one program and I don't have to muck around with learning vendor specific IDEs constantly. It's highly configurable, it has amazingly powerful + simple tools (I can't tell you how often I reach for prefix/suffix lines in the Text menu) and integrates very well and adapts to my workflows as necessary. Second reason is BareBones' support is the best in the industry. Over the years I've reported bugs and even asked for a few small enhancements and they are responsive and often implement the requested changes, often even better than what I asked for. You can tell The BareBones team cares about their product and their users. In a world of constantly churning technology, BBEdit is the one product I don't have to worry about - it is reliable and works. - Steve -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
