[Zope] BBEdit and Zope (was "GoLive")

I've used BBEdit 6.0 for occasional Zope use, and haven't really 
noticed a difference against version 5.x for editing DTML - but then 
again, I haven't been looking.

The *really* annoying problem with BBEdit 6.0 is that it doesn't 
respect FTP ports - it assumes the FTP server will be on port 21 - 
whereas 5.x would let you do zope.nipltd.com:8021 style server names, 
and did respect the port.

I mailed BBEdit technical support and they replied:

So, looks like BBEdit 5.x will be on my hard disk for sometime to come :-(

(the two versions of BBEdit seem to coexist OK, I've even had both 
running at the same time).
