Moving to OS10.15 my go-to editor (32bit) became useless, so I went shopping. I tried a lot of free editors but Bluefish was a clear winner for me. I use it mostly for html/css, Bluefish brought more of what I was used to than the other apps I tried. I hope the developer keeps it alive and well. Thanks, Bluefish people! p.s. MacUpdate, the current version is 2.2.12, please make note of this! https://bluefish.openoffice.nl/download.html

Holy crap, look at that screenshot above. This cluttering of menubars, ribbons, duplication of the Mac menubar on the app's windows all smacks of a Windows port. Heaven save us from the chaos of overly messy apps with complex user interfaces. Properly written Mac-specific software presents a nice clean workspace with all the extras available with just a click or two. This app needs to die a proper death. No stars as I haven't tried it.
