BBEdit 9.0 released

No mystery to the "Don't Find" button. BBEdit's Find dialog used to be modal. Many times I've typed an elaborate grep, but then had to scroll a text window to check something before replacing. The "Don't Find" button allowed you to dismiss the Find dialog without reverting the contents of the find/replace text to the pattern that existed from the last search. The other alternative was to copy the pattern to the clipboard before dismissing the dialog, but you still couldn't copy both the find and replace text.

Now that BBEdit's Find dialog is no longer modal, there's no need for the Don't Find command.

I've been a longtime user of BBEdit, but other apps, like Coda, are becoming just as good, with a better interface.
Textcompletion isn't as groundbreaking as it sounds. What BBEdit still lacks, and one of the reasons I use Coda lately, is codecompletion. For instance in Coda I only have to type an 'e' in a PHP document, and the app completes it with: echo(string arg1 [, string ...]). BBEdit just gives me some useless suggestions from the dictionary.

Aww, I'm going to miss "Don't Find". I have "cmd-D, cmd-opt-=" muscle reflexes from almost ten years of BBEdit use to change if I make this upgrade.

Please note, "Educational pricing is available to all students, faculty and staff of accredited educational institutions and schools." BBEdit 9.0 is $49.00-USD

BBEdit is a fantastic app, no doubt. But $129 for a text editor is just too steep for me. Especially one that's not very feature-rich. What it does have, it does very well though.

For the times when I'm forced to use Windows (like for work) I own a copy of Ultraedit. It's feature set is simply astounding.

There's a $30 upgrade from any older version, and that's very reasonable. I used to own BBEdit like 10 years ago, but I've long since lost my serial #. Too bad for me.

Uhh... guys? They're called Bare Bones Software. Hence the "BB" in "BBEdit."
