Been using BBEdit 10 for some days now. It crashed a couple of times which did not happen with v9.

The new preference dialogue might be pretty with its icons and cool with the expanding and shrinking window size. But it is because of this less usable, as you have to scroll between preferences when you could have them all in sight if the window would stay in its biggest size which still fits even on a laptop screen. Not very user friendly. But worse is that with the split between preferences and setup some preferences have been removed. You can no longer customise the HTML tool palette, which with the inclusion of icons is now bigger then before. I do not need some of these buttons and find it especially annoying that I no longer have the CSS palette within the main HTML palette, which means having another palette open that takes even more screen space.

The new entry dialogue seems to have been built to be cool, but requires another click. The guys at BBEDit seem to make things more an more cumbersome instead of easier, this also happened with the new FTP browser introduced in version 8, that removed the Bookmarks menu when connected to a site. Before you could just select another bookmark and disconnect and connect to a different server, since version 8 this requires to click disconnect, then bookmark and then connect, more clicks and selections.

The old preference dialogue is no longer available, not even with an terminal entry. Which means we are now forced to work with the new one. Gone is the search from top button, so more scrolling or command up arrow clicking to search, also the search dialogue stays on screen and has to be closed manually another click and annoyance as it is in the way to see search results.

I have been a BBEdit user and supporter for many years and have upgraded to version 10 to support their efforts and in case there are bug fixes and lion compatibility. But really annoyed by all the unnecessary changes that make working with the application less productive and I spend many hours with it every day. Hopefully they will address some of these issues soon.

Downloaded 5.0, as I previously was using 3.1 why the jump in the version number? Did not see that much new functionality, but might be to bring it in line with versions on other platforms.

But after only two days I have gone back to version 3.1.11Composed emails with inserted images into the text went out without the images, even when i saved them first and one of my accounts stopped to work all together complaining about the mail server proxy not responding and asking mw for my password.
All working with 3.1.1

I have seen some of the comments on this site that the new safari is not that new, that might be from an external and visual point of view be true, but underneath so much has changed. I have developed a content management system that heavily relies on the content editable capabilities of Safari and Internet Explorer and in that point the new safari has a lot of improvement to over, now supporting drag and drop of images, mor e formatting and cleaner html code generation, guess you should not judge a book by it's cover only ;-) for me certainly this is a very exiting new release and it does and allow things other browser can only dream off.
