Dick, Think BBedit calls its snippets the code glossary. Check it out!
One thing that I really want studio to do is to have some variables in the snippets like this: <!--- MWB %date(mm/dd/yy)% Comment: ---> (snippet code) <!--- MWB 09/24/02 Comment: ---> (result) OR Highlight or select text with your mouse, then active snippet. Selected text:"Fname" <input type="text" name="%selected%" value="#%selected%#"> <input type="text" name="Fname" value="Fname"> What would be really cool if you could store regular expression patterns in a snippet and just click to run a find and replace. Too bad it will never happen.... Mark W.

One BBedit feature I really like is the ability (within BBEdit) to execute a Perl script or a Unix shell script and see the results displayed in BBEdit. I use the Perl feature all the time to validate complex regexps, before copy pasting them into CF or JavaScript. On the other hand, JEit has some nice features, too -- Folding your code (Collapsing indentations) so yoy can get an overview, And the SQL Plugin allows you to highlight some SQL syntax (in a CF template) and execute it against an available database -- no copy/paste necessary. The results are shown in a popup window. BBEdit is more Mac-Like because everything where Mac users expect it to be. Difficult choice!
