In all fairness, they may not make such comments on their lists, but 
they do make them in public, like: “we have observed the crowding of 
the landscape with products which don't meet our standards for quality 
and thoughtfulness” or “these overnight text editors don't reflect well 
on the genre or the platform” -- this combined with a radio interview I 
heard is what have made me think of them as spoiled rock stars (hence 
my reference).

Please take such comments with a grain of salt, like with any other 
comments sent to this list which doesn't meet your standards for good 
behavior -- there are hundreds of subscribers from different countries 
and cultures, not all share the same view of what's appropriate.

Seeing how TextMate is a magnet for disgruntled BBEdit users, I think 
the occasional reference is unavoidable, similar to how you'll also 
find an occasional Microsoft bashing on most Apple lists -- but this 
really isn't what dominates this list, I have 3513 messages stored, 
only a handful mentions the other company.
