But I HATE the fact that for all the positives, Coda still does not have code folding (which is an unbelievable oversight to me)

I think it's pretty cool. It has a nice preview function (you can split the screens) that allows you to choose your browser and incorporates my php/css (I use MAMP as my testing environment) so I don't need to mess with a separate browser. It also has Transmit built right in which is fabulous! I think (although I'm not positive) that Panic might even be working on trying to incorporate CSSEdit. If they do that, then that's everything I need. I also like it's little added features like "Clips" and "Find" functions which I use a lot to save time. I haven't explored all Coda can do so I'm sure it's even better than I realize. And the customer service has been great when I've had ramping up questions. I don't code with python, perl or other stuff like that yet so maybe TextMate is better for that. Coda has a nice "Syntax Mode" with lots of options though so you can develop in whichever mode works best for you. I am usually in PHP mode. I used TM before Coda and liked it too; but, having the built in Transmit and browser, Coda is keeping me for now. Cheers, Holly Keith Aric Hall wrote: Thank you all for your responses. Lots of good info in here. I'm doing the Coda demo right now so we'll see how I feel about it after I take it for a test drive. A couple of people responded here and on Twitter that CSSEdit is a must, so I will give that a try too. Again, thanks for the responses. kah On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 7:40 AM, Diana Montalion Dupuis <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I use Coda with a plugin for checking syntax on sites with version control. The integration of the terminal window is handy and working on three different files at once is a visual contained. For sites on my dev host (who, up until recently, did not offer ssh though I'm clunky at using command line anyway) I use Cyberduck and Textmate. I have ZDE, Dreamweaver, and two other editing apps installed but Textmate is my hands-down favorite.
