Exactly.
I tried it for a few weeks and couldn’t stand it. There’s just too much non-Mac UI for a tool that honestly isn’t that powerful. For example, the search and replace is truly awful. I use BBEdit because it’s both consistent and powerful (better search and replace than vim).
This is coming from a guy who used a highly customized vim set up as his primary editor for years.
- pedrogpimenta 7y agoWhy did you stop using vim?
- danielparks 7y agoThe number one reason is that BBEdit’s search and replace is better. I can select text, make it the search pattern, then modify the text and make it the replace pattern. Then I can do a full or partial search and replace without ever opening the Find window. If I want, I can open the Find window and edit either string. The search string will already be properly escaped as a regular expression. vim’s search and replace is just a lot less convenient. Beyond that, BBEdit is a Mac app through and through, so it feels very natural to use.
