Yeah I bought BBEdit a few years ago and it cost almost 6 times what
TextMate cost. It was something like $350 Australian dollars.
I sent a few questions and suggestions to their support team and I
recieved a pathetic condecending email explaing very pretentiously
why it was not possible to highlight interpolated variables inside
strings because of 'XML Parsing Rules'.
I paid another $80 odd AU dollars for the 7 to 8 update. What was in
8 that was not in 7? A document drawer. So I paid $80 dollars for a
document draw... Really.
Textmate was about $60 AUD and I get daily builds, I can speak to the
author directly and the application kicks arse!
So all you poo-poo'ers can get stuffed because it's well worth the
cost. If Textmate was $350 AU I'd probably pay that much, too.
(And also for the record I own a license of Zend Studio, and I paid
about $450 AU for that, and they suck, too. I won't be renewing that
license, that's for sure!)
