Doesn’t BBEdit hold that position?


I'm not sure, but I think the whole themes, expandability, multiple cursors thing was TextMate first.

BBEdit magic was all through AppleScript, which was always inscrutable for me.


It does, and one can argue it's been maintained and updated much more consistently than TextMate. I still think BBEdit is the best "Swiss army knife" for text manipulation; I've used it for editing huge Markdown-based documentation sites in three tech writing jobs now.
