Unusably bad. Stuck in the past. I want to find a good cross-platform replacement for VSCode, but this is not it. It's blinding white, and even forcing dark mode doesn't work: <key>NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance</key> <string>false</string> It's stuck decades behind. We've had dark Mode forever, and it's not just cosmetic, it's a necessity for vision issues, especially a code editor, where we will stare for hours at the screen. The brew install is dead, so I had to download the DMG from the website. I cannot even test it further, when I can't look at it.

I cannot seem to find the most useful feature it should have. compare / split screen / dual view what else could it be called? can't find a way to ask via support, create ticket is grayed out, FB is dead, but link is still there.Reply from BluefishPosted 2026-04-04
In the menu Document->Split view or Document->Side by side ? -
Excellent editor to use as a general purpose text editor or as part of an IDE. The bookmarks feature to bookmark areas within files is unique, powerful, and extremely useful. Bluefish provides a pane that displays your bookmarks to quickly move to different sections within your files. It is my favourite feature. Thank you for Bluefish!

the editor with the best balance between speed and features

My first website editor was Kompozer, later Dreamweaver and at last BlueGriffon. I started using Bluefish in version 2.2.12 on macOS Mojave and created a responsive website during an advanced education. This version had a somehow cluttered toolbar, but it worked fine for me, and I got familiar with it after a short time. One week ago I tried the 2.2.13beta1 and really love its tidy GUI, which is a large improvement over the predecessor in my opinion. If I could wish for something, it would be configurable shortcuts like in GIMP. But that's whining at the highest level. The search for a new editor is over, Bluefish is definitely my favorite and number one and will remain so! Many thanks to the developers for providing precompiled Binaries for macOS!
