29 years ago BBEdit was first released.

Since then in my eyes it is firmly established as the text editor that I compare all others with. I've been using it since the very start and I've lost count of the times that BBEdit has saved me when I've needed to edit vast text or data files. I still have a bunch of applescripts that I wrote that helped me automate the updating of my first website.

BBEdit It (still) doesn't suck.
