"BBEdit Lite has been discontinued and is no longer being developed or supported" (via crabwalk).

What? Crazy talk. And they want upwards of $100 for BBEdit? Yikes. Was my editor of choice when I was working on Macs. (These days I've only a Windoze box and I miss all things Apple. Once I have gainful employment again and some extra cash, I'll be buying a system from Apple).

They've brought out TextWrangler as a low-end text editor for $49 and with a 30-day demo mode.

It's not a real replacement for a free reduced-feature version, but if it helps keep BareBones in business, I guess I won't complain too much.

(Writing on an eMac with a 700 MHz G4 and MacOS X 10.2.4, happily free of Windows for the moment.)
