Cool Unix Quote

I’ve been using
TextWrangler
for a while now — a free uber-text editor that’s used heavily by web
developers. It’s actually the free, mini-version of
BBEdit
— which is supposedly everything TextWrangler is and more.

I’ve been thinking that I might want to “step up” to BBedit and buy it to
get the features I’m lacking with TextEdit, but then I looked at the stuff
and it doesn’t seem all that compelling. It then came to me that if even one
or two of the features are useful — ever — then it might be worth it. Why?

Because I love TextWrangler so much. That doesn’t seem to make sense, but I
almost feel like it’s good karma to buy BBEdit because I like their free
offering so much — especially since it does offer some extra features
that could come in handy. I’m going to download the demo and play with it
for a bit — just to make sure I’m not being too nutty.

What do you guys think; is it just abject stupidity to “reward” a company in
this way?

Edit: Thanks for the input; I bought it. For anyone thinking of doing the
same, there’s a $100 discount for anyone using TextWrangler. The details are
a bit weird, but it’s a real discount. I got the product for $99 instead of
$199. W00t.
