BBEdit is indispensable. The Open/Save via FTP alone is worth the purchase price, especially when you're working on a web server that's colocated far away. My assistant is getting bitten in the ass by network latency every few keystrokes with SSH and vi, but I only deal with the network when I save. (We both work mostly on Perl CGI's that generate HTML. BBEdit understands the syntax for a number of common languages enough to do color-coding, brace matching, etc.) Plus it has real regular expressions for search and replace (with backreferences!), spell checking, a host of smart HTML tools, and (for those who need some WYSI in their WYG) it integrates seamlessly with Dreamweaver. (In fact, you get it free with Dreamweaver.)

The price you pay for the right of free speech is my right not to listen. I reserve the right to ignore anybody, anywhere, at any time (at the acknowledged risk of missing out on some things that I may need to know). I believe Esther Dyson was the first to point out that the truly scarce resource (and hence the natural currency) on the Net is
attention. What you call "ShutUp" software is really just the technological descendant of the kill file -- a necessary and congenial part of any free speech forum.
