Hmmm. Seems like it's 31+ years old. Here's Gruber on the 30th anniversary: https://daringfireball.net/2022/04/30_years_of_bbedit_not_su...
It was also 30 years old last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31008290
Ha, I missed that. Ok, we've incremented its age in the title above. Thanks! (Submitted title was "BBEdit is 30 years old") Edit: some people didn't like "BBEdit is 31 years old" so I took another crack at changing it. Edit edit: never mind. Edit edit edit: never never mind.
Nobody has mentioned the manual. It is fantastic! To this day I still open the BBEdit manual (to chapter 30, maybe?) if I want to figure out how to write some Regex. I’ve never seen such clear and comprehensive instructions on Regex anywhere else.
I don't know yet what to to with it, but I will probably explore writing language modes for it. I used to do this for Sublime Text, but I think Sublime lost its Mojo at the point of not adding native support for language servers.

Is this documentation on the web somewhere? Going to dig and will post if I find anything..

It looks like the occasion is the 30th anniversary of Bare Bones Software (the company): https://www.barebones.com/company/ >. Perhaps the original submitter mistakenly interpreted the "30th Anniversary special pricing” text as applying to the BBEdit program itself.
The new title now seems inaccurate, or not reflecting the intention, given that, and given that the linked page says "30th Anniversary special pricing! Use the coupon code “BBEDIT30” at checkout to get BBEdit for US$30 for a limited time."

No. That's just a cheat sheet. Here's one version: https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/BBEdit_12.5.2_User_Ma... See chapter 8, starting on page 171.
