I love Bbedit. I've used it at work for years. It has nice search-and-replace stuff, and you can make it play nicely with Dreamweaver if you're so inclined. I use it for everything from web pages to shopping lists.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've been using emacs since the mid eighties. It would take far too long to unlearn everything and be productive in another editor.
Pity me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Pity me.
Heh, I still use Lotus 123 commands in Excel. There are some things that are just quicker that way.

Hey. New board.
I still use vim about half the time, especially for coding. If somebody gave me a nicer gui for it so it could look pretty on my Mac and have useful mouse selection for copy+paste, I'd probably use it for everything.

Our wings are not tired
At least no one has been claiming to be still using vi. I do kinda miss pico.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I use pico plenty. Also, nano.

I used to use pico a lot before I moved my site, on account of being v. v. lazy.
Post-moving, I've been HTML Kit's bitch, and would kill for a Mac port.

Hey. New board.
ND, did you not see my post? vim is pretty much vi. I mean, there's improvements, but no different than the ones that have been made to emacs since the original vi days.
Nano's totally better than pico.
You know what metric unit thingy I love? The angstrom. Because it completely ignores all the rules of the metric system. It doesn't even end in "meter." Plus, it makes me really wish "angst" was a standard metric prefix. I'd love to have just a few angstliters of water. Or measure my weight in angstograms.

Hey! I'm wondering if one of you tech whizzes can give me a clue as to what's going on with my 'puter. It won't let me open Word anymore. Most of the time it hangs up and I have to reboot to do anything at all. Only one time did I get a message saying I didn't have enough memory to open it. I've still got over 5 Gig of hard drive space left and I've got 128 M of RAM. When I pull up my System Performance it says I've got 54% of my resources free. Is this normal? Any idea what the problem is?
