What is BBEdit?

BBEdit is a professional text and code editor for macOS developed by Bare Bones Software, first released in 1992. It provides syntax highlighting for dozens of languages, powerful grep-based search and replace, FTP/SFTP file editing, and extensive scripting support. It is aimed at web developers, programmers, and writers who work heavily with plain text and code.
