#2Wait, the impression I'm getting here is BBEdit is just Rich Siegel now? Does Barebones not have any other engineers working on BBEdit?
Somewhat surprising, but props to Rich, that is some impressive work, above what I already thought was impressive work!

#4BBEdit was an essential component of not having to deal with the terrible editor & even worse runtime stability of CodeWarrior for a spell in a past life of mine.
Thank you, BBEdit.
Also, you’re low-key responsible for my lifelong unrealized quest to give my Linux workstation sane keyboard shortcuts.

#5BBEdit was my first editor when I was learning to program for the web on my Power PC bubble mac. It's crazy to think it was considered old when I was using it and that it's still around now!

Oh heck, you've just dredged up some absolutely horrific repressed memories of that pile of junk. It was impressive how unstable it was.
It's funny too, these days I'm in embedded development again, and it's a markedly different experience to those days, though still amusingly unstable at times too.

Why not?

#8BBEdit was my first text editor ~15 years ago! Back when I was really obsessive over the small stuff because I wanted to be like the cool kids. I then got into Text Wrangler, vim, emacs, nvim, etc. over the years. I was really into customizing my environment.
Now I just use IntelliJ and VSCode. Don't really have to think about it, plugin system has grown enormously, and I rarely need to spend time futzing with my configs because excellent themes are free and plentiful. Progress!

I'm not a huge fan of app stores in general, but I have to give Apple credit for these articles they do. Never too long, high quality and interesting ones like this come along semi-regularly especially the design-centric ones. I've actually found a few good apps through these over the years, partly because of design showcases that looked cool and partly because the developer seemed like a nice person and I wanted to check their app out.
