Coda

This app gradually became my favorite editor while replacing the faithful TextMate app that I love so much. After some time though, I noticed Coda has that same feel but with a nice touch of extra features that work and look nice. The browser controls and the CSS visual editor I think are my favorite features when comparing it to TextMate.

Super web dev tool! Totally worth the hundred bucks. Built in FTP, SSH Terminal, SVN capabilities, and snippets. Not to mention the code navigator. I've also been able to find plug-ins and extensions that add syntax modes and additional functionality. You kind of have to search though as most plugins are not on panic's website. :/

When I started to use Coda I missed some of the features of Dreamweaver (auto-upload on save, etc) however the more I have used Coda the more it has grown on me, and it not having these features doesn't matter now.

The interface is amazing, and one of my favourite features is the code navigator and code bookmarks.

I have to admit that at the beginning of using this app, I wasn't impressed and used to just end up switching over to TextMate for whatever reason or task I was working on. However, I did like how the designed the interface of being able to quickly switch between edit, preview, and CSS sections. Before Coda, I used to do all my CSS on any basic text editor - also including whenever I used Dreamweaver at the time, I would be importing my CSS classes and use that app for quick and dirty HTML code. The main reason that gradually made me become more a fan of Coda was the community around it and all the great plug-ins that began exploding all over the web. Plus, about the same time, my feelings toward TextMate lowered as I stopped hearing much buzz about it or any new dev cycles being in process or bundles too. Before I knew it, I was very accustomed to coding using this app and figured to stick with it ever since ;)
Still, the price is too high and I believe it should be cut in half.

Very great and clean for fast coding. Not advanced enough for main coding place, more for fast editing or simple HTML typing.

Simply the best development suite for web based applications. FTP, source code editor, built in SSH tool. Can't work without it.

I've tried many IDEs that are available on MacOSX, including TextMate, Espresso and all those Java-based environments such as Eclipse, NetBeans and IDEA, and I've come to the conclusion that Coda serves me best. It's got the most practical balance of features without bloat, and it has an extremely polished UI that makes it a pleasure to use.

I use Coda almost exclusively for web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP) which is what it was mainly designed for. I'm assuming it handles Python and Ruby well too, but I've not used those much. If you're doing software development in Java/C/C++ etc., you might be better off with some of the other solutions; I cannot say much about that. Also, for OSX development there is of course Xcode, which is great, and free.

The are still some little quirks here and there, but they don't get in the way much. I've reported a number of bugs and issues and I guess Panic are working on it :) Other than that, a very high quality product. I can recommend this app wholeheartedly (and I don't do that easily).

Just love it!

it's best text editor on mac easy to use, user friendly interface

Because Coda has a unique environment that offers you a complete package with all the components a web developer needs. File brower (localy and remotely) publishing (FTP) full-featured text editor, HTML/CSS/PHP libary that automaticly comlpete code-lines. And last but not least: A fully covered libary with basic information about different codec, like PHP, AJAX, HTML and CSS

Just amazing.

Like this more than Dreamweaver, more a Mac software

Very simple & Easy to use interface!

Has everything I wanted (FTP + Text editor) and more. It's also aesthetically pleasing.
