BBEdit 9.0 is out and it is a significant update. At risk of sounding
like an advertisement, changes that I particularly appreciate are:
- The Find/Replace is finally modal (though there is a preference to
make it modal if you prefer). It has a cleaner design and the checkboxes
all work independently now, which makes "find in selection" usable. The
old Find/Replace dialog was a show-stopper for me; it is the reason I
avoided BBEdit for years.
- An excellent implementation of Project Files. If you add a directory
to a Project then it is a live view of the disk, which is just what I
want (especially when working with svn repositories and such). You can
add individual files and other things as well, but I've not done any of
that yet.
- The various views of a file can all edited (and of course they stay
synchronized). Formerly views such as Find All window were read-only.
Of course there are many other fine Mac editors and everybody's taste is
different. But if you are looking for an editor then BBEdit 9 is
definitely worth a look.
