I don't do much in text editors these days, but when I am working in them it's typically for batch processing files for the weirdest of reasons.

I've held out for the longest time using the long-abandoned text-editor Brackets, mostly because it was capable of doing (most) of what I needed in a text editor and was available on both Apple and Windows machines.

Well, after one too many frustrating attempts in the past few months of trying to insert a new line \n when doing a find-and-replace on a few hundred files, I've finally given up on it.

I'm not certain what took me so long, but after only a day of using BBEdit I'm in second heaven.

I abandoned Talking to Canadians by Rick Mercer today after finally realizing: I don't like reading biographies, I'm not a fan of comedians, and I can't stand Rick Mercer even in the written word.

Next book, please.

Note: the exception to my previous comment is Year Book by Seth Rogan.

Go listen to this book now.
