BBEdit 9: Customer service and developer love
Posted on September 9, 2008 by agentrickard
There is an ongoing debate (in my office at least) about the value of BBEdit instead of a true IDE. I tried Zend, but could never make it show invisibles or line breaks, which drove me crazy.
Well, the BBEdit folks get high marks on two points. One, this email I received yesterday:
Thank you for your previous purchase of BBEdit 8.5. We are happy to inform you that you are eligible for a free upgrade to BBEdit 9.0, a major upgrade with over a hundred new features and enhancements.
...
You are receiving this message because you purchased BBEdit 8.5 on or after January 1, 2008.
So, first, big props to customer retention and happiness.
Second, IDE-style features are here. Witness PHP function auto-completes:
Now to make it recognize the Drupal API.

True, but the lack of 'show invisibles' drove me nuts. Of course, the BBEdit version of autocomplete does not include function parameters (yet), which does sort of suck.
