> iirc it actually had/has a half-decent package format, but no manager or central repository for packages. The latter two are basically obligatory these days for a solid code editor, in my opinion. Yes, and yes, and yes. :) > Really all that I want is a hook to run a shell script on save that runs the current buffer through mix format or rustfmt or whatever. Is that more feasible? It would totally be possible, with the caveat that this is where you hit the one thing that does look really creaky: BBEdit's native scripting language is AppleScript. You can "attach" scripts to every single menu item, to several kinds of events (including both before and after saving a document), and the script could basically just be a wrapper around a shell script, but AppleScript will unavoidably rear its verbose yet inscrutable face.
