"A good text editor"
4.5/5
What do you like best about BBEdit?

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.

"Use BBEdit every day"
5/5
What do you like best about BBEdit?

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.

What do you dislike about BBEdit?

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.

"Still my go-to for html editing"
5/5
What do you like best about BBEdit?

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.

What do you dislike about BBEdit?

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.

"Been using it for years. Love it."
4.5/5
What do you like best about BBEdit?

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.

What do you dislike about BBEdit?

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.
