I use Zed more now, but BBEdit's still pretty great. I love, love, LOVE that I can extend it with shell scripts or Python tools or Rust apps or whatever else I have laying around. Sometimes I don't want to write a whole plugin, let alone in JavaScript or whatever. I just want to say "process this text with this tool" and have it work. BBEdit's second to none for that.

That’s the power of vim, emacs, nano, and I think Kate too. Piping the current text and/or collecting the output of a given comment.

Another nice thing is the ability to collect paths, line and column numbers from the output for navigation.
