BBEdit 9.3.1
Bare Bones Software has released a maintenance update to the powerful text editor BBEdit. Changes are mostly aimed at addressing minor bugs, including one that caused the first group of results from a search to be collapsed inappropriately, one that prevented new HTML documents from being created in the front project window when New HTML Document was chosen, a bug that prevented access to a project item through the scripting interface, and several bugs related to insta-projects. The update also adds #!-based language-guessing to the Lua programming language module. Full release notes are available on the Bare
Bones Web site. ($125 new, free update, 16.1 MB)

I'd almost delete this post thinking you were a troll, but you sound too reasonable for that.
BBEdit is a serious tool for programmers that's worth every penny. I use it for hours each day for both programming and writing. It is not just a text editor.
Bare Bones gives away TextWrangler, which has nearly all BBEdit features excluding a few programmer-specific features.

I have to agree. I would never have thought I'd pay money, much less $100, for a TEXT EDITOR. BBEdit's been worth every penny though, and I only use about 5% of its capabilities
Although I'm sure there are other products out there that can do some of the same things BBEdit does, I rely on it heavily for all sorts of text-manipulation tasks that are essential to the running of our business - deduplicating database exports, massaging data to import into a database or spreadsheet, and of course writing in Markdown with syntax coloring.
