This is not strictly BBEdit related, but may be relevant to some HTML & CSS 
coders here anyway.

There was a lot of excitement around Coda 2 during the last days, and I 
gave into the hype and bought it today from the App Store at the reduced 
price, although I maintain all my sites in BBEdit. I was curious enough to 
spend 40 EUR.

Long story short: It's a nice app. The GUI is beautiful, the reference docs 
are a welcome addition. But in terms of features - especially with regards 
to site management -, even Coda 2 doesn't hold a candle to BBEdit. Includes 
alone (which can be updated and fine-tuned using variables) are something I 
couldn't live/work without – Coda's snippets are not really an adequate 
replacement. Same goes for fine-tuned RegEx search/replace, collections, 
the markup editor, "Process Lines containing" etc. I would love to see a 
Transmit-style "Sync site" feature in BBEdit, but that's about the only 
feature I really need a third-party app for.

I guess I will use Coda here and there for a small project, but for 
everything else, I'll stick with BBEdit.

(All this is not supposed to badmouth a competitor, but it might save some 
people some money.)
