    What's your favorite project that BBEdit has helped bring to life? A lot of Fetch's code was written in BBEdit, as was virtually all of fetchsoftworks.com. The features I use most for writing code are Compare Files, multi-file windows, SVN support, and the confidence BBEdit gives me that my code is safe. For web editing I love the live PHP preview.

Runners up include: Compare Files, the ability to preview a PHP website, Process lines containing..., Column editing, Multi-file windows, AppleScript support (if I need to mess with a text file from AppleScript, even just to add a line to the end, I do it with BBEdit), Worksheets
