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.

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.
