Bare Bones Releases TextWrangler

Posted by pudge on from the editing-is-as-editing-does dept.

Bare Bones has released TextWrangler, a new editor that fills the need for users who want the power of BBEdit, but don't do software development. It is available for Mac OS v9.1 and Mac OS X v10.1.5 and up, and retails for $49, while BBEdit sells for $179. It has the core text-editing functionality of BBEdit, but not the software development features (except a few, for integration with Project Builder). Seems like a nice tool to have around if you don't have BBEdit, or for using on machines that you don't do development on.

    I might have achieved greatness. I can only hope.

    I think the bottom line is, if you're stupid enough to pay way too much for a computer, then you're stupid enough to pay too much for software. Also, I didn't need to RTFA to tell you that.
