So let me get this straight. I've been a faithful customer for over
15 years, buying every single BBEdit upgrade. And yet brand new users
can buy the product for the exact same price in the AppStore that I
can "upgrade" for? That sucks.
Yes it does. I have always bought the upgrade within days of
announcement. Not this time. The changes in BBedit are not required
for the work that I do. Now I'll wait until either version 9 does not
run or has some feature that I really need.
I have always upgraded even though I use only a small fraction of the
feature set of BBE. I could (mostly) get by with TextWrangler but I
always bought the full BBEdit upgrade version-to-version for many
years. I did it mostly to show support for BareBones and the BBEdit
product.
I've always gotten great support from BB when I had questions or
problems and it's well worth the upgrade price with each new version,
even if I did not need the new features.
Alas, BBEdit 10 requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later and I'm still on
10.5.8, so, for the fist time since I began using BBEdit, I won't
upgrade, since I cannot use the new version.
One day, when I abandon Eudora and upgrade to 10.6+, I'll upgrade BBEdit too.
