BBEdit 6 supports the AEOM and whose-clauses are included in that
support. If you have specific issues with the object model support in
BBEdit 6.0 we would be more than glad to hear about them at

I'm not going to argue whether or not BBEdit 6 is the "second
most-scriptable app". I'm not sure that this is something which is even
easily quantifiable. That said, BBEdit 6.0 does support whose-clauses in
its scripting interface.
Some basic examples:
every word of text window 1 whose contents is "apple"
every window whose name ends with ".html"
What specificly have you tried to do with whose-clauses in BBEdit 6.0
which has not worked?
