Same here. Any text editor would work, of course, but I like BBEdit because of all the customization options. I’ve set up a bunch of shortcuts for frequently used tags; after some practice, I’ve become able to write prose in HTML almost as smoothly as in a word processor.

When I redid my ancient personal site—started in the late 1990s—to make it mobile-friendly a few years ago, BBEdit was also useful when making changes across dozens of files at once.
