Bbedit is better than Sublime and is arguably more refined.

I use it and Bbedit and vi.

BBEdit is wonderful. I got hooked by TextWrangler and eventually bit the bullet to upgrade, and it was a great decision.

I’ve used Sublime (3 and 4), VSCode, Notepad++, vi, etc.; even made some plugins for Sublime, and I still vastly prefer BBEdit.

To burst your bubble, Notepad++ is the elder to Sublime Text by 5 years.

"The inspirer" huh? So Sublime Text went back in time 5 years and inspired Notepad++?

Zed. The newcomer. The liberator.
