Product Description:

BBEdit is a high-performance HTML and text editor for the Macintosh. It is designed and crafted for the editing, searching, transformation, and manipulation of text. BBEdit provides an array of general-purpose features which are useful for a wide variety of tasks, and includes many features which have been specifically developed in response to the needs of Web authors and software developers.

What's new in this version:

Added a language selector to the Scratchpad, to enable syntax coloring for the selected language. (As with other documents, auto-guess on pasting into an empty scratchpad will work as expected.)
The "Use Selection for Find" command and friends now work when the Find or Multi-File Search windows are in front; they apply to the first (in Z-order) window that's not the Find, Multi-File Search, or Quick Find window, as long as that window has a text view.
Removed the anachronistic "option click to open in Finder" gesture from disk browser lists (for consistency with project list views).
The search commands in the Find window will now target the first (in Z-order) window that's not the Find, Multi-File Search, or Quick Find window, as long as that window has a text view.
Small performance tweaks to the Ruby function scanner (for the function popup and fold markers).
Improved the parsing (for fold markers) of Ruby while loops and "defineMethod" statements.
Improved parsing of class names for the function popup in Ruby files, and ".class" on the end of an identifier is now handled properly.
The Edit menu (e.g. Paste) once again works correctly in get/put file dialogs or sheets when running 10.4.x.
JavaScript Array declarations written with square brackets, as well as matched pairs of parentheses, will now have automatically generated fold markers as long as the range contains enough lines to fold (per the pref).
Fixed a bug in the HTML paragraph tool (and paragraph guessing logic in the HTML Translate tool) where the last paragraph in a file would be skipped if the paragraph ended with a space or tab, but not a carriage return.
Fixed a bug where a 13214 error was reported when creating a new project document when running in certain configurations.
Fixed a regression in HTML syntax coloring related to

Not sure what ftp issues were present in earlier versions, but I have no problems with working with BBEdit's ftp functions, although I typically use Interarchy for ftp.

When I need to get something done, and done quickly, BBEdit always comes through. I've tried out others, but BBEdit is the strongest and most comprehensive tool I've found.

FTP really sucks! - Version: 9.1, 1/12/2009 04:17AM PST

OK, this is my first NEGATIVE report on BBEdit.
The FTP client is really really buggy!

If you work with a document opened via FTP, every time you save your work BBEdit open a new connection, not closing the ones already it opened.
So it happens that my server, which supports max 50 connections, after a few minutes of work stop accepting my savings.

And there's more and more.

Now reverting to 9.02, which I did not removed from my backups!

Wow -- this is my first negative experience with a BBEdit update in a very long time. They've completely watered down -- oh, make that 'Mac-like' -- the ftp preferences. No longer can I choose what kind of protocol. BBEdit conveniently chooses for me regardless.

And in doing so, they've crippled BBEdit. I can no longer log into webstar servers or other older ftp servers directly. BBEdit appears to log in successfully, but sends erroneous commands and cannot list files or directories.

Support requests to Barebones have gone without reply to date. I'll go back to 9.0.2 to be able to get my work done.

sad.
