What do you do? I'm a lead software developer at Brown University.
When did you start using BBEdit? I started using BBEdit in 1994 when it was at version 3.0.
What do you make? How does BBEdit help? My work requires me to edit files on a variety of servers, and BBEdit allows me to do that directly from my Mac, so that I have all the advantages of BBEdit even in other environments. When I'm writing code, I find many features in BBEdit valuable. The feature set is so extensive that I often use BBEdit for small projects instead of using an IDE.
What I like best about BBEdit is the wide range of features it offers, and how they all have been implemented with careful attention to making them truly useful.
What's your favorite project that BBEdit has helped bring to life? When I'm not actually compiling code, I use BBEdit to work on my tn3270 program for OS X. I use many features, but I find how BBEdit does file comparisons and BBEdit's search/replace capabilities especially useful.
Which feature is your favorite? It's difficult to pick a favorite feature, but I use "Open from FTP/SFTP Server" extensively. While it's a small thing, I also have to mention that the ability to include the new line character in search/replace is extremely valuable. Overall, what I like best about BBEdit is the wide range of features it offers, and how they all have been implemented with careful attention to making them truly useful.
