Actually on the spur of the moment I went to the MacPerl archives and did a
keyword search for the following - 'BBedit', 'Alpha', 'MPW':
the results were as follows
BBedit -1126 hits
Alpha - 441 hits
MPW- 886 hits


then I searched for the strings 'Alpha is better than BBedit', 'BBedit is
better than Alpha',
'MPW is better than Alpha', 'MPW is better than BBedit', 'BBedit is better
than MPW', 'Alpha is better than MPW'
the results were as follows:
Alpha is better than BBedit - 20 hits
BBedit is better than Alpha - 20 hits
MPW is better than Alpha  - 4 hits
'Alpha is better than MPW - 4 hits
MPW is better than BBedit - 6 hits
BBedit is better than MPW - 6 hits
(Try this one at home folks)

Conclusion: MPW users are more magnanimous and are more likely to be
compatible with Alpha users or BBedit users.
