[History, from Wikipedia]

BBEdit is a proprietary text editor made by Bare Bones Software. It
was originally developed for Macintosh System Software 6 and is now
available for Mac OS X.

BBEdit is marketed under the trademark slogan, "It doesn't suck."

The first version of the BBEdit was created as a "bare bones" text
editor to serve as a host application for a "proof of concept" to
replace the TextEdit control used in Mac OS at the time, which could
not read files larger than 32K. Taking advantage of its then-unusual
plugin support, third party developers started writing plug-ins to
insert HTML code in 1994 to make composing web pages easier. In fact,
the developers at Bare Bones Software first learned of the existence
of HTML through users inquiring about these plug-ins and later bought
the rights to the plug-ins from their author and included them as part
of the standard BBEdit package. The tools were included as an optional
palette in version 4, and were progressively more integrated, gaining
their own menu in version 5.0.

BBEdit was available at no charge upon its initial release in 1991,
but was commercialized in May 1993 with the release of version 2.5.

At the same time, Bare Bones Software also made a less-featured
version of BBEdit 2.5 called BBEdit Lite available at no cost. Bare
Bones Software discontinued BBEdit Lite at version 6.1 and replaced it
with TextWrangler, which was available for a fee, although
significantly less than BBEdit. Several years later it too was
released for free.
