Thanks Ken,
It's always thrilling to get such praise. At the same time it's also likely 
you may not have dug a lot of jewels out of Quanta yet that are hidden under 
the surface. Odds are good that after six months or a year you won't see 
BBEdit as quite so close. For instance have you found these?
* KIO and fish - all I/O uses KIO slaves for transparent access. So along with 
FTP there is SFTP, SMB, WebDAV and others. These can be used in projects and 
any file dialog and fish:// is totally cool. It uses ssh/scp to provide a 
secure protocol, and if you use ssh_keys then you can make auto login quasi 
VPN.
* Top directories - in the file tree you can save top directories, but you can 
also save remote sites as fish://user@domain/path.
* CVS (and SVN) integration - roll back, review changes, blame annotation, 
manage group development teams...
* Code Abbreviations - store Javascript tags as Ctrl-js and tie it to only 
applicable DTDs
* DTD reading on the fly for custom auto completion
* XML entity completion
* Four different kinds of templates that remain merely part of your file 
system so you can load in any files or link them from other directories
* DCOP scriptability that allows you to manage nearly ever feature and 
function of Quanta from the shell 
* User defined Actions for toolbar buttons, key combinations, template filters 
and any Project Event Action we could think of
* Kommander - quick visual creation of dialogs for interface extention and 
bidirectional DCOP - dialogs like HTML Quick Start are actually Kommander

There's more, but I'll stop now. Keep in mind we sponsor developers on this 
project and we're always scraping for money to pay them. Look on our site for 
online sponsorship or donations.
