Well, those TEA scripts for Coda can do some nifty things that you can't with the clips feature (which I do use as well; lorem+tab is especially handy for templating work).
The most useful feature of the scripts (for me, at least) is how they let you paste in a bunch of content, select it, then wrap a tag around your selection or -- and this is just incredibly useful -- wrap every line of it in the tag of your choice. It's a huge time-saver. I'd not seen this feature in any other text editor before TextMate offered it. Interesting to see how many other folks said they love CSSEdit. Does anyone actually use its visual editor? I only use its text editor and I'm always surprised how much mileage I get out of its subtle optimizations for writing CSS -- but the grouping feature is what really got me hooked on it.
