Yup. I've been using it for at least that long.

I've tried "trendier" editors, from time to time, but always end up going back to BBEdit.

yap. not to forget TextWrangler

They rolled it in to BBEdit a couple of releases ago. TextWrangler is now effectively ‘BBEdit free mode’

You can set BBEdits icon to be TextWrangler, for those who are nostalgic and don’t know.

Yes, same here! I got my first Mac with 7.5.3. It was a Performa 5200CD. Good times :)

BBEdit was preinstalled on campus Macs when I was an engineering undergrad... in the mid-late 90s. I have made an entire software career, 25 years, since then, and still Rich Siegel soldiers on. Amazing.
