BbeditBBEdit is a text editor previously for Mac OS Classic and now for Mac OS X. It is made by Bare Bones Software. BBEdit is self-consciously not a word processor, meaning it does not have text formatting or page layout features. BBEdit's audience includes programmers and web designers. Bare Bones Software also made a free and less-featured version of BBEdit called BBEdit Lite. They discontinued BBEdit Lite at version 6.1, which they have replaced with TextWrangler. BBEdit supports syntax highlighting for a wide variety of popular computer languages. It also contains powerful multi-file text searching capabilities including strong support for regular expressions. BBEdit allows the easy previewing and debugging of HTML and Perl and provides built-in prototypes for most HTML constructs. It also includes FTP and SFTP tools and integrates with code management systems. BBEdit readily shows differences between file versions and allows for the merging of changes. BBEdit is among the more notable text editors available for the Macintosh platform. Its use is ubiquitous among web designers, and many applications and integrated development environments (IDEs) provide direct support for using BBEdit as a third-party source code editor. BBEdit trivia - BBEdit's tagline is "It doesn't suck."
- The first version of the application was said to have been created as a "proof of concept" for a "bare bones" text editor to replace the text editor included with Macs at the time, TeachText, which couldn't read files larger than 32K. There's nothing "bare bones" about it today, as BBEdit is now a full-featured, mature application with many advanced features.
