Guessing they meant "I have never read" and not telling you to "never read"
I find myself writing like this all the time. I omit the 'I', writing it like I say it. Then I read back my own words and invariably insert the 'I' as I realise it doesn't make sense.
BBEdit 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.
> CodeWarrior 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.
I've recently been writing my first real app for Mac OS 9, using C++ (MacZoop framework) and Codewarrior Pro 5 on a G4. There's some features I miss from my modern developer environment (decent version control!), but other than that it's been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Certainly I've had no stability issues at all with the IDE.
I moved to TextMate. I can't remember why. Is either of them better than the other these days? I feel like TextMate has been slightly abandoned.
Find yourself typing this thing over and over? Just create a snippet, the interface is just very few clicks away.
Need a bit more power? Turn it into a command, and use whatever scripting language you’re comfortable with.
Want to change the color scheme? Here is a nice declarative way to select precisely the syntax elements you want.
(I think part of this was that they had a bunch of short videos on their site showing you how to do this, and then a well-written documentation to accompany it for the details.)
Sadly, with TextMate 2.0, the interface for these things got quite a bit clunkier, and then I left. (I also discovered my preference for modal editing.)
FTA: "We’ve always had the utmost respect for the user. Every internal decision about look and function answers the questions 'What does the customer need?' and 'How can we help them be more productive?' (Not 'How can we give them what they’re asking for?' because that isn’t the right question to answer.)" I experienced this first hand when asking Rich to restore the "hard wrap to window width" feature in TextWrangle…

Interesting. Do you remember which version (or approximate year) you're referring to?

An inline search pane would be nice. Not because it's necessarily better, but it aligns with a lot of other tools that we use.

I'm somehat worried about the incidental harm caused by people relying on GPT's word chain hallucinations as facts for something critical. Most laypersons don't understand that GPT is not a factual search engine. I'm increasingly seeing people who should know better also forget this now and then.
