BBEdit is a phenomenal editor, and when I'm not using Vim, I'm using BBEdit. BBEdit has everything VSCode has, plus the benefit of supporting a small company that doesn't spy on you or want to own the developer experience. They just make an amazing native editor that's blazing fast at all times.

If you can afford it, buy a copy. BBedit is not just a great tool, it's a piece of history. It's like buying a classic car that's continued to be updated with all the modern niceties to make it both fun to drive and frustration free. I really can't recommend it enough.

I’d trust your accolades more if you didn’t muddy them with comments like “BBEdit has everything VSCode has”, especially as you go on to show that you have a real ideological axe to grind, and by the sound of things probably don’t spend much time using VS Code anyway. Is it just because both editors are Turing-complete? Are you really telling me that the absolute buckets of money Microsoft is spending to re-EEE the development ecosystem with VS Code has not yet resulted in ANYTHING potentially compelling to ANY user vs BBEdit? I wouldn’t believe you if you said no. Please don’t ruin a positive thing with rants.
