I still grieve the death of AppleWorks. iWork/Pages is not an adequate replacement. Also Pages fails the Mum test. My Mum finds it baffling and unusable but she had no problem with AppleWorks and has no problem with MS Office.
BBEdit is an essential part of my toolkit and has been for years. It is a well thought out, well written, rock solid program with excellent support.
I have and use TextMate too but man that is a wacky program. The only thing it has going for it it's excellent auto completion and text insertion functions. The rest of the app is just wacky. It does not adhere to Mac conventions at all. But the auto complete/text insertion is *so* good I can forgive it's major short comings.
I really hope Barebones adds support similar to TextMate to the next version. Clippings just don't cut it!
Seriously, Interarchy is fantastic. A certain other app gets most of the fan fare from the young hip crowd but in reality Interarchy blows it out of the water.
