spyware - BBSW

Most Mac software has automatic update checking built in, and BBEdit is no exception. You can control this in the "Application" preferences.

Uh no. Sorry. I dunno what you did, but BBEdit only phones home for update checks. Little Snitch is as quiet as can be provided update checks are turned off.

Frankly, if you have a beef with this kinda thing, it would make a whole lot more sense to contact the developers rather than giving an inaccurate, paranoid review which would only serve to put off those legitimately interested in the product....

I've been using BBEdit for nearly a decade and it's never "phoned home" for anything other than the optional software update check mentioned above.

You should do a little more research before making wild accusations.

Thanks. BBEdit called spyware. Made me giggle. The whole program is a productivity Trojan. You have been warned.
