“The improvements in BBEdit 8.0 are really terrific! Please give my personal regards to the development team for their excellent work. Two simple features that are great: multiple docs in one window, and highlighting the current row. “We just upgraded to BBEdit 8 here at The Seattle Times and it is freakin’ awesome. I’ve been using BBEdit since it first came out and this new version 8.0 is by far the most extensive overhaul and improvement of the program!!!! Thanks for the continued work and effort!!!” “I’m so excited I had to stop what I was doing and email you. I’ve been using BBEdit since version 4, and as I watched it assemble a 156Mb web log file by inserting 31 text files into a new one, was reminded how much I take it for granted. With BBEdit, you’ll never feel naked when you work cross-platform, or when new OS’s, standards and file formats come along.” Then feel the joy of working with an overflowing toolchest. I just installed 8.0.3 from 8.0.2 and the release notes read like a 2.0 to a 3.0! So when I’m asked by students, ’what’s the best app for coding HTML, PHP, Perl, Unix scripts, JavaScript one with a solid CVS and FTP client fully integrated?’ I tell them choose carefully, look around, then buy BBEdit and use it everyday, until you know it like your right hand-use it even when you have no particular work, so you can experiment with the features for hours. “BBEdit is ONE great text editing, code building, net-savvy, workhorse that’s updated more often than others are upgraded. If I ever run into you folks at a convention, I’ll buy ya’ beers till my wallet’s flat. “As I was hacking away at a website this evening, watching BBEdit fly through hundreds of pages doing a complex find and replace, I was struck by the need to praise your efforts. I love being able to use BBEdit’s Find Differences interface for comparing SVN revisions.” “The SVN integration in BBEdit 8.1 is slicker than whale snot. “I suppose every Mac user has one primary application, be it a mail program, an outliner, Photoshop, or Microsoft Word. I am so glad my Mac, BBEdit and its web authoring community are there for me. I have tried Dreamweaver, Front Page, GoLive, InDesign, AppleWorks, Word and other WYSIWYG applications and they just do not compare. My pages are just not right until run through the BBEdit mill. BBEdit has come through for me every time - not only saving tedious steps, but finding and correcting syntax errors in pages and scripts. I am self taught in HTML so that I can program my own pages. I have been using BBEdit since the turn of the Millenium. It’s so indispensable that I’d seriously consider giving up my home Internet connection before I gave up BBEdit.” Basically, if you’re a web author and you’ve moved beyond drawing-program web design, you need BBEdit. “As Bare Bones says right on their web site, ‘It doesn’t suck.’ That’s the understatement of the year. It took me a few minutes to realize that the program can determine whether the block mode is HTML or PHP and comment accordingly, which means that it is keeping track of that sort of thing, even in a complex module. I keep finding new super features that are essential time savers to me, e.g. I cannot tell you how valuable, professional, and totally indespensible your product is to me. “I have used BBEdit since 2000 (v5), ever since I started this nonsense business of website development. All my precious unsaved documents (and there are nine of them out of 53 open files) have been saved! I am pleased beyond measure.” What I didn’t know, however, was that it restored all documents, including unsaved items. I knew that the latest version had a session restore feature. What amazed me was that eight hours later, I reopened BBEdit, my text editor. Being a developer, I especiallyĮnjoy all the time-saving features that come built-in with the software!” It doesn’t just support PHP syntax, but helps me with raw HTML tags as well. “Over the years, I moved all my sites to the Wordpress platform that’s why BBEdit has proven itself an invaluable ally when editing theme files.
