For a little insight, from the BBEdit manual:
## Manual ##
* Opening bz2, gzip, and tar Files and Binary plists
BBEdit transparently opens and displays the contents of any bz2 or
gzip-compressed files (“.bz2”, “.gz” and “.gzip” files), as well as tarballs
(“.tar” files) and binary plists (“.plist” files), both directly and during
multi-file search.
. . .
If you make any changes to such a file and save it, BBEdit will automatically
re-compress or re-convert the file on save.
