BBEdit Reviews & Product Details

This software is the leading professional HTML and text editor in our company, which we use to meet the needs of our writers, web authors and developers as it provides a large number of functions to edit, search and manipulate, code source and textual data, which are very useful for carrying out various tasks. It has an intelligent interface that provides easy access to the best BBEdit functions, at the same time it is very professional and very intuitive, it does not require great technical knowledge to navigate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very functional application, but sometimes it needs time to load some features or functions, something that all company personnel can easily understand since we understand that software so loaded with tools can be overloaded at some point, so that we are not disappointed in this aspect, plus it is just a matter of waiting.

I’m using BBEdit since years now. In fact it was called TextWrangler earlier, and then authors renamed it to BBEdit, and of course extended it. The free version completely supports all the features from TextWrangler and even more. It has TouchBar support and natively runs on Apple Silicon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface could be a bit more sophisticated. Otherwise I like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BBEdit is a great text editor for MacOS. Between the contextual coloring, phenomenal regex capabilities, and integration with the terminal, it's hard to beat. It has great search and search-and-replace features, as well as a comparison tool. If you work with any kind of code on a Mac, BBEdit is a must have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about BBEdit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems that every task I throw at BBEdit is accomplished with the minimum of effort. From simple text editing to advanced scripting and GREP work, it works flawlessly. I have been using this application for many years now, and always try to take a look at the others out there, but BBEdit always shines brighter than anything else I have found. The file comparison features are amazing. It has saved me many an hour of repetitive work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing yet. I keep trying to stump BBEdit, but haven't yet found something that it can't do with text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1.Easy to search for text in the file.

2.easy to edit/create/import files.

3. One of the best features of that a user can compare two text files and can analyse the whole data text. It shows you the missing text/ extra text and similar text between two different files.

4.easy to manipulate text data. Example if a user wants to remove all the occurance of any word/sentence, it is possible.

5. Replace all option is really helpful while documenting texts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it takes time to load and the application crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Versatile and quick. Suitable for any occasion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Those looking to do more complex stuff above my paygrade might find it lacking but I can't think of many issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very flexible in what it can do.

Always ahead of the competition Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not many I can think of, the odd cosmetic bug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BBEdit is very basic. It loads fast and is minimalist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if the newer versions did simple stuff like complete tags or checked code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

simple to use. great syntax highlighting for most languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there's ads or popups for free to use version at each startup. it's slow starting up for a simple IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of the test editor is its USP. It does only those things that it is supposed to do. I use it heavily for doc comparisons and doc editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe its a bit heavy that other built in text editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Advanced text editor with built in syntax highlighting, markup preview, great diff tool including ability to diff folders not just files, open remote folder via ftp/sftp, search and replace with grep capability, sorting, duplicate line processing, ability to open file or folder from command line, and many other features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No real time code error checking or debugging capability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Been using BBEdit almost 20 years. Ease of use, color coding on the code, where you can collapse blocks of code based on brackets, the elegant interface. The built in FTP client. It works on Mac. There are other editors available, however, this one is an old favorite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only thing I don't like about BBEdit is the lack of where the editor guesses what you are trying to write in the code, and completes the brackets. However, that could be lack of understanding how to use the software. Also do not like the delays on the built in FTP client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BBEdit has been my go-to HTML editor for years, and it still remains my first choice. It's just text - no fancy design options but gets the job done when it comes to simple (and not so simple) html and text editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They had changed the palettes over the years and I liked them better when they were more straightforward (at least to me) in providing quick access to common tags. The latest version (12) has returned some of what I missed back to the interface so I'm happy about that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the speed and search-replace functionality for easily editing code and making fast changes to large files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, its a little hard to keep track of files that are open remotely, but thats a minor issue. Mostly you just have to be careful when editing files off a server, but that's a user issue and not really the program's fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like everything in BBEdit, I'm using it every days.

- Syntax highlighting;

- Remote edit;

- Code completion;

and many more ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly I don't know. I like everything BBEdit provides Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's stable, always "just works" and it not cluttered with unnecessary buttons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Borderline a bit to pricy. But the high quality of the software makes it worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about BbEdit is that I can customize the colors of the interface to make it easier for me to distinguish between variables/strings etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like that there are not as many autocomplete options as other text editors that I’ve used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When programming, the software uses different colored text to indicate whether a specific item was completed (or if it was not completed). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I disliked that only a few users can be using the product at the same time, especially when many need to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a great text editor & GUI editor. It's pretty straight forward—not a lot of bells and whistles which makes it simple to use, and it's well organized. The syntax coloring makes it very easy to review, proof, and edit source code. The find and replace tool is also a big help.

I use it in conjunction with other HTML building software (like Dreamweaver or Bee Pro), as it helps me to see the code & any errors therein more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much I dislike about this software. This isn't a complex tool. It does the basics but not much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is the best go to software for all word processing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometime when we open very huge files, like more than a GB, it doesnt respond Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and has many of the standard features you would need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not the greatest for coding or troubleshooting code or data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy setup and efficient workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had a hard time installing the R language Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BBEDIT is one of the best tools that a developer and power user should have in their workflow. This text editor a swiss army knife when it comes to editing text files. It continues to evolve and remain relevant in today's quick rapid change in software development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Basically, nothing. It has proven that it was a relevant application in any type of development work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BBEdit does everything I want from a text editor. Git integration, text sorting, a powerful regex engine, and a hundred more features I can't think of right now. Their support is top-notch and I've even gotten custom patches written for non-critical bugs that affected my workflow prior to their general release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have two main issues with BBEdit. One, it's only on MAC so if I have to work in a different environment I have to use some other text editor. Two, it still lacks the split screen support introduced with OSX El Capitan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy, intuitive interface, with so many ways to customize the experience. It's super light, taking up very little memory, and lightning fast when working on huge text documents. I love the color coding of HTML code - makes editing very easy. Love that you can have multiple tabs open at once and switch between documents easily, and best of all, the documents all autosave while you're working on them.

To use the most powerful features, like grep, you need to learn a little UNIX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
