Maintenance Release for BBEdit 9.0.1
This morning I saw that BareBones released BBEdit 9.0.1 with tons of little bug fixes. Looks very much like a maintenance release and that's great news. I have to say that I've been playing with it for a while and while I understand the type-ahead and hints, I'm not sure that I'm the kind of guy that really likes to use them.
I love ctags, and that gets me a long way, and I work around a lot of guys that probably couldn't write a method without it. I know they couldn't write C++, so all that's left is Java. OK... I'm probably being a little mean here, but I'm certain all but one couldn't do it. The days of IDEs have taken away the skills of real programming in favor of click-n-drag development. It's a trade-off, but I think they are the worse for their dependency.
As for me. I want to know my code. Understand it inside and out. That's how you debug something. Single stepping is the last resort as it modifies the execution in all but the simplest of applications.
Anyway... kudos to the guys are BareBones for keeping BBEdit going. If only the Coding Monkeys updated SubEthaEdit...
