BBEdit 9.0 -- First Impressions

After a little more than one working day using the newly released BBEdit 9.0, my impressions is positive.

First of all, I am glad to see that a trusted tool works largely as expected as it keeps pace. This is to me much more important than flashy new interfaces or features. The search interface is cleaner, which is nice, but over all I had no problem at all getting right back to work after the upgrade.

My favorite new feature is the variable auto-completion I noticed this evening while working on an approximately 400-line perl script with many, many variables. The auto-completion gave me great assurance without any split screens or searching that I had the spelling and capitalization of previously used variables correct.

Thanks, BareBones for the continued good work.
