Quoting Jan: - Keeping notes - Massaging text - Search (search over set of files, often search&replace with regexp, and search folders, search open files, search the search results, I've used it all) - Writing code (Python, shell, Perl, Lua, HTML, CSS, etc) - Writing documents (Markdown) - Exploring file content (even binary sometimes) - A really good difference engine and UI
I want to add that BBEdit's difference interface is so good that I've been able to do things that you just can't do with other tools. I've been able to solve problems way faster, and it's simply because I can compare a huge list of files quickly. I know git has diff but it is horrible compared to BBEdit, and so I'll often keep multiple folders of my projects at different git branches or checkouts and diff them. I'll use it to debug simply by comparing what I've worked on the last hour with the last commit. And when I finish adding a feature of fixing a bug, I'll go back to the last commit and diff it and cherry pick the feature I just added so it looks even better. BBEdit is also able to open some really big files. I also use the open over sftp ability periodically. BBEdit also taught me regex, which I consider myself to be pretty good at now.
