This is true :)

The tabs get in the way all the time when editing if the indenting is
with tabs.

It's one of things I miss about the classic Nisus Writer which was a
word processor with awesome text editing capabilities.

With Nisus Writer you could indent using the word processor's para
indenting capability.

Then you would edit away to your heart's content, dragging this here
and there, and there'd never be a problem with a tab turning up in the
wrong place.

The classic OS Nisus Writer saved all files as type TEXT so all you had
to do before uploading was remove the resource fork and you had a
"pure" text file.

However one thing I'll say for BBEdit 8.5 is that to indent a wrapped
paragraph you only need to tab the first line, the para then
wraps-on-the-left under the tab position.

This is a very good thing imho :)
