Is this the BBEdit 10 that still can't do auto-indentation or matching braces? Despite being effectively abandonware, TextMate is still surprisingly useful, and other editors still need to catch up to it in a lot of respects.
Are you referring to the TextMate that still can't undo more than one character at a time? Or that doesn't include file (much less Multi-file) comparison?
Now for your points...
Granted it is an external tool, but I always used AutoPairs to balance in BBEdit (and other apps) http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/autopairs.html
Auto-indentation? I think BBEdit has always had that. Preferences > Editor Defaults > Auto-indent

What I assume he means is syntax-aware indentation, not general auto-complete. In curly-brace languages, for example, it makes me mental in BBEdit that I have to outdent at the end of a function to make the closing curly line up.
Textmate is the saddest example of abandonware
Or a happy example of abandonware.
Abandonware means no longer sold or supported. TM is still being sold and maintained by its author.

BBEdit is uninspired bloatware.
They should have got ready for BBEdit 10.
Adding actual features at any point in the past five years would have been good.
Textmate is the saddest example of abandonware, Allan Odgaard has thrown away an army of loyal customers.
