Hi It is a great blog you have!
I use BBEdit for HTML/CSS and miscellaneous other tasks. I do use it a lot in fact. I have tried out two alternative text editors in the last six months and returned to BBEdit. I tried TextMate and found that although it has much to commend it you cannot use AppleScript with it very well which is a big negative for me. Also I am much more of a palettes person than a keyboard shortcuts type. The other text editor I tried was Panic's Coda. I was very impressed with Coda's interface at first but after a while of using it I discovered it is not well thought out in some key areas. This is why I feel it is important to always try things for the full month of the trial period because it takes a bit of time to see their faults. With Coda the Find/Replace is in a pane which runs across the top of the window below the toolbar. That I rather liked, but the "scope" is in a submenu of a small menu on that pane. This means that to check if you are doing Find/Replace in a selection or not you have to always go to that submenu. It was imho really a very bad piece of design. With Coda there is another tiny submenu to select flavour of RegEx. But I could not work out any of the available flavours and no guide was given as to what expressions were to be used. With Coda you cannot select browsers to be included in the "preview" menu. This meant that I could not include Xyle Scope which I always use. So although the interface with Coda is super-slick it presented numerous problems for me.
