I'm curious as to the attraction of BBEdit. Coming from a Unix/Windows background, I find that whilst it seems pretty solid and has some nice features, it costs at least five times more than any sane person should be prepared to pay. But even taking that into account, it actually seems to do *less* (at least for me!) than the free alternatives that ship by default on OS X (personally, I use Vim). OK, so its integration into the enitre OS is generally a lot better than the "free" stuff, but... So why the attraction? Is it really only old OS <=9 users that use it, or am I really missing something?
