Bare Bones Software is

Bare Bones Software is killing their freebie BBEdit Lite package and replacing it with the $50 Text Wrangler. Sure, Text Wrangler has a ton more features than plain old BBEdit Lite, but all I wanted was a quick and easy text file reader anyway. Apple TextEdit is okay, but it has all the extraneous rich-text formatting options which takes away from its editor-ness. Thanks to MacOS X, there's vi and emacs, but most of the time I want something point-and-click. For God's sake don't make me go install a Mac-ified XEmacs. That's just unnatural.
