BBEdit vs. EditPlus

BBEdit's free version is great as an update to the group's previous product Text Wrangler, which, as that name implies, allowed us to manage any text to remove odd formatting and adjust the text to our specific needs as a publishing group. The paid version, which I am less familiar with, has considerably better tools if you are seeking BBEdit for coding purposes, as its HTML ability is much better than the free version I use more regularly. If you are looking for a word processor or other more polished text files, this is unlikely to suit. But if you want a simple program with surprisingly complex uses for preparing text for another program or writing code, this may be the program you need

Edit+ is well suited for basic tasks like using it as a to-do list or writing basic scripts or using it for simple programs that aren't too long or complex.

• It's still a little techy for my uses.
• I have some issues with making my preferences stick. But they're minor.
• I have tried other code editors, and this one is the best.

Incentivized

• Not well supported by community
• Lacks plugins/extension other well known editors have.

Updates are frequent and I can't recall any issues with broken programs or vulnerabilities. The team behind BBEdit is also generous with its free trials, allowing long-term free users to have multiple chances to sample its full software. I am unsure if I had issues how the support would be, only because I have not needed them

Compared to Brackets, BBEdit feels faster, leaner, and has more utility value. Brackets feel oriented towards coders specifically, whereas BBEdit is like a toolbox of text tools for a wide array of needs. I feel like the same is probably true for Visual Studio Code, but I have barely used it. Visual Studio Code is used by my company's IT department, and from observation, it seems like a very capable coding application. I expect to dig into it further when I have time.

Not well supported, lacks functionality other editors have.

• BBEdit has literally saved product launches by speeding the process of scrubbing and prepping large-scale data imports.
• It's eliminated hours per week of waiting for "full-featured" IDEs.

• Irreplaceable. Every aspect of my business has been affected
• I could not have done some of tasks I was asked to do, without it.
