![]() Some things are buggy (code folding) and some things just don’t make sense (Webkit only vendor prefix). Looking forward to whatever’s next, but for now, I’ll keep using Coda 2 – maybe some of the new features will grow on me. I’m guessing I’ll like Coda 2 a lot more after a few “minor” updates from Panic… after all, those guys are awesome. I think my ideal editor would have the sidebar(s) from Espresso, the editor from Sublime Text 2 and the FTP features and code hinting from Coda 1. Some sort of magical something that makes everything easy and fun.Better code hinting – at least as good as Coda 1, but would be great to have more hinting from internal custom classes in the site (though for me, not at the expense of much application speed).The new live navigation tree above the edit area is nice, but no replacement for the Files sidebar. I very often want to see more than one at a time, for instance Files + Navigator + Hints. Better sidebar(s) – both sides of screen, stacked, etc.The visual CSS editor (didn’t use it much, but was nice when training).Being able to have the Files and Navigator both open in the sidebar.The code hints below the editor area (and hinting that’s generally helpful).The quick FTP upload button by changed files.Seeing the full document path above the editor area.As the novelty is wearing off, I’m wishing it was more like Coda 1 – in many of the same ways I wished the apps by other developers were more like Coda. Initially, I was just happy to be using something new and different. I purchased Coda 2 on the day it was released (from the App Store), and have been using it for a little more than a week. There are plenty of things I’ve liked in each of the other apps (as far as I’m concerned, all the above are great), but I always found myself returning to Coda. Over the years of waiting for a Coda update, I’ve delved into other apps like Espresso, Sublime Text, BBEdit, PhpStorm. I should also mention that I’m not someone who avoids change, particularly in the software I use. Since then, Coda has been my primary web development application. I should start out by mentioning that I’ve been a big fan of Panic for years – I’ve used Transmit since Mac OS 9 days, and Coda since its initial release.
