Some users like apps that just work - you don't need to waist hours to customize, add plugins, tweak and turn.

- rpwilcox 13y agoBBEdit +1 from me too. I abandoned BBEdit for Textmate around 2006 I think. I went back to BBEdit when Textmate looked like it was a dead-end (2011 ish?). Three things that drew me (back) to BBEdit: 1. Most of the features from TextMate I used made it to BBEdit (Cmd-T, packages) 2. BBEdit has been around for 20 years... I really don't want to pick up, learn, and spend years investing in a flash in the pan editor. 3. I *really* don't want to fiddle with lisp to configure my editor There are still some features in TextMate I miss. For example, TM's language grammers are still lightyears ahead of BBEdit's, and having written half a dozen grammers for each platform I know of which I speak. But BBEdit is solid and pretty great. Also, shell worksheets are pretty amazing. Disclosure: I run @bbedit_hints on Twitter.
