Venerable Text Editor BBEdit is 20 Years Old

[justperry]

Can't really remember anymore when I opened it for the last time, must be years.
What's wrong with BBedit's Icon, seems fine with me, and it's a solid program.

Happy anniversary BBedit.

It has been 20 years already? Man, time is just flying by... Reminds me how old I am.

Software that doesn't suck

One of my favorite applications. Versatile, reliable, and fast.

It's amazing that a small software house like BareBones can write an application this good when a behemoth like Microsoft seems to have such a hard time keeping Word from crashing.

TextWrangler originally replaced the "lite" version of BBEdit, and initially cost something like $49.95 (back when BBEdit was well over $100).

Aha, teach me to snark, then. I bought BBEdit originally at $100, but at that point TextWrangler was free. I wasn't aware they'd ever charged for it.

OMG! 20 years.. It was unknown to me although it is one of my favorite application. However, may this app live long with more great service.

I've tried BBEdit, although It isn't a bad text editor, I absolutely love Coda, in my opinion It's the best text editor out there on the Mac side.. Saves tons of typing and time..

Was a good app way back when but i have since replaced it with multiple apps that specialise in what they do.

Writing - iA Writer. I don't know how i lived without it.
HTML - Coda. Love the interface.

UltraEdit is another powerful cross-platform text editor worth giving a try. It can handle huge files, binary/hex editing, column mode and line ending conversions. Its Mac version is the latest addition and very useable already.
