BBEdit is such a wonderful app. I'll be honest, I have never used it as my primary editor -- I grew up on TextMate and the like -- but if I want something reliable and performant, nothing is better.
I pay for a license every version just because I want to support teams building apps that have been around for as long as BBEdit has been around and that are so thoughtfully designed and lovingly supported.
When you talk to BBEdit diehards, they talk about it the same way people speak of their very favorite and most-treasured tools, and even in the realm of text editors (where, let's face it, we're just downright passionate about our editor), that is rare and wonderful to see.
Yeah, it’s large file performance is unparalleled. As well as the way it does search and replace. As I said, it’s not my primary editor, but if I need to handle a large file, it’s where I start and end.
