BBEdit still has the best multi-file search-and-replace feature of any editor I've ever used. Tons of options, a visual pattern builder, multiple simultaneous search source directories and the option to save search sets, it's saved me innumerable hours of tedium.
It's worth the price for that one feature alone.
- bayindirh 4y agoBBEdit was one of the first serious tools I've bought for my Mac, and I'm a happy camper ever since.
- daydream 4y agoThe multi file search and replace is so good that it kept me coding Python in BBEdit long after I should have switched to something better suited to the task.
- datavirtue 4y agoI used it to search and navigate 10GB+ text files for a major project. It was the only editor that could do it.
- ungamedplayer 4y agoI've previously been able to edit large files with vim, emacs as far back as 1998 and other editors on OSX for a while, what would happen in editors such as hexfiend, glogg, pilotedit,vim,emacs etc ? Unless bbedit available for another platform that wasn't osx ? (my history is shady).
- scelerat 4y agoI still keep updating it (been using it since 1.x days) for multi-file search as well, even as the rest of my workflow is tmux, nvim and other command-line tools. BBedit's diff tool is excellent too.
