Anything man-made is a compromise, but with BBEdit, you give up the least for what you get, and you’ll be working in an environment that needs no external helpers for you to accomplish your tasks, unless you have external files such as images, PDFs, audio/video files, etc., and those almost always require an external program of some sort no matter what. If an external program or utility would make your life easier, you are not locked into any specific one … you can choose whichever one you want. You will even have the ability to create your own utilities, both through setting up work flows and through programming using a number of different languages.
