Some features of the "bbedit" command line tool are discussed in this review of BBEdit 8.0:

For my taste, the notable bits are:
(1) The '--clean' option for suppressing the 'Do you want to save changes?' dialog. (2) The tool is installed from a button in the preferences.
I'd like to see a -w flag to wait until the window is closed before continuing. This allows the editor to be used for editing svn commit comments (or any other task where the editor specified by the EDITOR environment variable is used).
Install from within the app is cute, but not (in my opinion) necessary, but there probably should be an installer so permissions are handled correctly.
My 2 cents.
