User Reviews

  • 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!
  • Never got past the configure stage. Too many missing or out of date dependencies. Not worth bothering with. MacOS Sierra, I know it's old but not had as much trouble with other software.
  • Thank you very much for the free open source program!
