I switched to Nova about 6 months ago - great editor and development seems supercharged compared to BBEdit.
- LukeBMM 5y agoI keep meaning to pick up Nova out of love for Panic, but every time I've tried a new editor[0] I end up switching back to BBEdit. 0 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25135058#25162222 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25135058#25162222
- masterof0 5y agoSame, the UI of Nova is too flashy for my taste, I love the simplicity of BBEdit, and the perceived performance difference. I have been using Sublime and BBEdit intermittently , I will give it another try now that they support LSP.
- chipotle_coyote 5y agoAs much as I love Panic and their software, BBEdit's LSP support is considerably more solid and its text editing engine is just a lot more powerful. There are still some advantages Nova has and it's certainly prettier, but after about a year of using Nova -- I started with the betas! -- it still feels nerfed compared to both BBEdit and Visual Studio Code (which I'd argue is its more natural competitor).
