BBedit is very much alive and kicking. It is currently at version 11 on Bare Bones Software’s site. Their companion product, TextWranger, has the advantage that it’s free, but lacks the high-end tools offered by BBedit. <Go to http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/comparison.html <http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/comparison.html>> for a comprehensive comparison. I don’t know what t tell you about your Quicklook issues. Quicklook is working perfectly for me on html files under Yosemite 10.10.2. You might find an alternative solution at <http://www.quicklookplugins.com <http://www.quicklookplugins.com/>>.
