How many equivalent billable hours of your time would $50 work out to, compared to how much time the tool would save? If the answer is "yes", then complaining about price seems specious to me.

I've been using BBEdit for years and years. Not only do I like it's Diff capability.
But the Find across multiple files is awesome. Not to mention the Disk Browser.
Nor the multi-lingual support.
I have no affiliation beyond being a highly satisfied user.
