So?  I have no qualms about modifying system files in Mousepad
[which is a Leafpad clone, which is a Notepad clone for Linux].
Sometimes I miss BBEdit, but unfortunately there are no BBEdit
clones for Linux, and I've been using that enough that the Mac UI
has become slightly uncomfortable, if not unfamiliar.

Actually, I really wish there was a BBEdit clone for Linux.  They
would go great together.  Okay, so it's called Text Wrangler now,
so what?  I still miss it [sniff, weep].
