BBEdit's Most Expensive Upgrade

Posted by timothy on Tuesday April 1, 2003 @03:59PM from the who-says-they're-joking dept.

BBEdit users with a lot of money and fast reflexes can order something not available from most software companies: yroJJory writes "For the duration of the day, Bare Bones Software is offering BBEdit 7 for $250,000. The new pricing option includes: hand delivery of the product by a Bare Bones employee in a gorilla suit; a breaking-of-the-seal ceremony; Interpretive reading of the manual; and one year of feature request implementation service. And to think...I just paid for my license last week. Shucks."

BBEdit is not worth even $2. It's a product whose time has passed. And it's a very poorly designed product as well. As of now, anything coming from Bare Bones is a rip-off. You get product for your money, but you would also get a fifth wheel if you bought it.
