BBEdit has one feature that I love, that nearly every other text editor in existence fails to get right -- open files are in vertical list, instead of tabs. I hate tabs. I regularly have 25+ files open at a time, basically every file in my project. I can also use swipe gestures on my Macbook to switch files. Tabs I always end up driving nuts.
However BBEdit is not a good code editor at all when compared to a proper IDE.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoI'm sure I've misunderstood you, but don't Sublime Text and TextMate also offer this sidebar thing? http://www.sublimetext.com/screenshots/cpo.png http://www.sublimetext.com/screenshots/cpo.png http://manual.macromates.com/images/project_window_with_tabs.png http://manual.macromates.com/images/project_window_with_tabs... It used to be control-s, but now the shortcut for hiding/displaying the sidebar is command-k,command-b (for the latest beta of Sublime Text 2 on OS X)
- ChrisLTD 14y agoAs your screenshots show, the project hierarchy is in the sidebar, but the open files are still displayed as horizontal tabs. BBEdit lists the open files under the project file list: http://www.barebones.com/images/bbedit/project-window-lg.png http://www.barebones.com/images/bbedit/project-window-lg.png
- batista 14y agoSubmime Text shows open files as both tabs AND a vertical list on the sidebar, above the project files. You can see in his screenshot the single open file being shown above the project files.
