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.
