I use a Mac at home. I love the Mac, and today, Bare Bones Software has released BBEdit 8.0. This is "Software that doesn't suck." On each and every platform that I use I am always looking for the text editor that meets the standards set by BBEdit. On the Unix workstations, we used emacs. I got used to it. Sometimes, I would launch a file in vi just to get comfortable with the "more weird than emacs" keystroke combinations. Shift-Z-Z? On PCs, I quickly abandoned TextPad and WordPad looking for a BBEdit port. No such luck. The closest so far has been VisualSlickEdit. It is still no BBEdit.

Run out and get the latest version of the best piece of software ever written.
