I've been using for 20+ years.
I make extensive use of its GREP for formatting or extracting data from
text data files. One example is analyzing web access files to determine
which files have been downloaded - a 20 MB set of log files is quickly
reduced to a 2 MB sorted list, and then, using uniq, to a list with
download counts.
BBEdit is my go-to for figuring out file formats of files which are
missing the right extension or Type info. It quickly opens huge binary
files and looking at the first few characters often provides the clue,
e.g., "%PDF-1.3" in a PDF file.
I use its Hex Dump File extensively for reverse-engineering binary data
file formats.
I've written most of my programs in BBEdit, as well as maintained my
website.
It is fast, lean and very reliable.
