What's New
Version 10.1.1:
  • In project windows, "New Text Document" and "New Folder" now prompt you (using a standard save panel) for the location of the item you wish to create. After creating the item, BBEdit will figure out whether the item needs to be added to a collection (if one was selected when using the commands) or to the top leve
  • There's a new script attachment point for documents: documentShouldFinalizeAuthenticatedSave. This gets called in cases where an authenticated save is necessary (for text documents only). An attachment script for this purpose might look like this (the comments are important, so read them!):
  • More improvements to Open File by Name

Something about this app other than the features puts a smile on my face. The reliability, the ultra conservative design. When in life you decide to stop messing about you turn to BBEdit.

When you ask a Rolls Royce salesman about speed, horsepower, rpm or torque you'll get one answer. "It is sufficient."

Don't ask about features of BBEdit, they are sufficient.

BBEdit is by far the most mature and feature rich text editor on the Mac. It is more than worth the price Bare Bones charges. Especially since the price drop from $99 to $49 dollars. If it has any negatives. It would have to be the UI not being as modern as its competitors and having so many features it can be overwhelming. The positives are to numerous to mention. Overall? It's well worth your hard earned money.

Simply the best text editor on Mac, since Mac OS 7, period.

Wow, 10.x is absolute JUNK. I've converted entire companies using this product alone from Windows to Mac. This version guts everything that was great about its previous versions. The developers are stuck on DEFEND mode while the app forces markup work BACK on the user. Remember all your tags folks! Exact spelling, attribute trees, and generally engage in a dialog to then type everything in manually. What's the point?

Also, try opening a large file. Something that Coda can do in a split second. BBEdit goes into this crashing - non responding mode for days. Is it really that hard? Seriously, no application has a problem with doing this save BBEdit.

Barebones software, you can now finally claim that you make software that SUCKS!

On par with Smultron but with a higher price tag.
Guess Smultron wins for a lower price.

I disagree. BBEdit has many more power features, including a very useful project window (remembers a specific collection of files and allows you to easily search and replace within that collection). As I recall Smultron has something it calls a project window, but it's just a disk browser (useful, but not the same).

If you don't need the power of BBEdit then Smultron is one of many fine choices for a simpler text editor.

Without a doubt, the very best text editor that ever existed for Mac OS X. If you haven't yet done so, make sure you install the great bbdiff utility, worth the price of admission. :)

I forgot to provide a link. The bbdiff utility is an optional install (check under the BBEdit menu)...

BBEdit is truly a great text editor. While there are a number of competitors, it doesn't shake BBEdit from the throne. I use it to code HTML and Java, and it is very nice for those tasks.

BBEdit just plain works. It works well, and it works when you need it to work. Always has! Its multi-file find and replace capabilities make it worth the price alone.

Three stars are not enough credit for an application like this. I switched from BBEdit to Freeway Pro ten years ago, from Freeway Pro to Coda and Espresso three years ago, and from those two back to BBEdit since january 2011 (that was version 9.6, I think).

I have used all the apps mentioned above to write small to medium sized websites: Coda is great, but it lacks code folding and sometimes does not highlight all HTML5 tags properly. It also lacks some of the utilities that BBEdit has for tidying texts and the search and replace functions are not as good as those found in BBEdit. The new built-in Markdown support (and conversion from Markdown to HTML) is a great timesaver (although it took some time for me to realize this, while I had installed the .pl tools in version 9 so I assumed I did use those). Espresso is a very promising piece of software: the problem is it stays 'a very promising piece of software' for a very long time and it continue to crash more often than any other app I use.

I use BBEdit on a daily basis and almost every day I find a solution in this software for a problem I've encountered. Almost all my little helper apps I kept around online or offline remain untouched since I switched.
Version 10 (round number) had some troubles but most of them are ironed-out in 10.0.1. At the moment I don't have a reason to look elsewhere.

Ever since I have updated to 8.5 I have to enter my FTP password over and over again
for :
1. connecting to the FTP server
2. saving each individual file back to the server.

This of course is a very bad thing ....
Has anyone else encountered this issue ?
