Agreed.  If you're on a Mac, BBEdit is the way to go.  (And when you buy
BBEdit 4.0, they send you a "BBEdit doesn't suck" T-shirt!)  It is also
the best HTML editor, for any platform, bar none.

I like the new syntax coloring that they just added in BBEdit 4.0.1 - 
it makes editing HTML and TeX and C so much easier.  I'm now trying to
get BareBones to add Inform syntax coloring.  Neil, would you mind also
sending some email to BareBones to request Inform/TADS syntax coloring?
Or at least to figure out a way for us users to add that coloring ourselves?

  Better not take a dog on the Space Shuttle, because if he sticks his
  head out when you're coming home his face might burn up.
