I started using BBedit around 1995. If I hadn't left Apple/MacOS for Linux about 15 years ago, I would definitely still be a (gladly paying) BBedit user!

Same story here basically, I loved BBEdit back in the pre-OS X era, especially after I installed Macsbug and learned how to dig my essays out of memory and write them to disk if anything crashed while I was writing...

I was on a Mac constantly from 1989-2009, I'd became a bit of a free software zealot and moved from an iBook to a ThinkPad. It's funny, because a lot of people were making the opposite move, and as I understand it the early 2010's are looked at as a bit of a by-gone golden age for Apple now. Can I ask why you chose to move?
