I’ve been using BBEdit more and more these days. Used a lot of TextMate, Sublime Text, VS Code, Emacs… but BBEdit seems to work everywhere and it starts up fast.
I’d also say that it’s one of the editors that suffers from the fewest misfires—in Emacs I’ll accidentally trigger some weird command by screwing up a sequence of shortcuts, or in TextMate I’ll accidentally expand some weird macro by holding the shift key down too long, and in various editors, I’ll fight against autocompletion that is sometimes too aggressive. BBEdit, for whatever reason, just gets out of the way and lets me write text.
