So if your not savvy to it yet, coda is amazing. I like TextMate just as much as the next guy but lets face it, it needs features. personally I want my FTP, SVN and text editor in one. Top that with access to terminal, fancy interface, customizable theme and, my favorite, editing the files right on the server, and Coda wins. You know what I noticed though? No developer blog on their site! I mean WTF? I like to see how active an app is to know that its going to be rolling new features consistently but Panic doesn’t have a dev blog and their other apps look pretty dead. I will say that coda seems to update somewhat often, so I know its still active, I just cant say how active.
The updates don’t seem to push new features and personally, I would love to see better text completion. A feature I’ve only seen in Dreamweaver (I know, shut up. This feature is awesome though) is the way it closes two part tags. If I type <a> It doesn’t immediately close it, instead it waits for the </ and closes it with the right tag. Whereas coda and others simply through this in <a></a>. The issue is that if you are putting the tage in front of something you want to wrap you get opening and closing tag in front of it and then have to delete the closing tag EVERYTIME. So if anyone knows a plugin that fixes this, well that would be swell.
Other then that, I love coda more then anything I’ve used yet and the FTP is very reliable. But hey, Panic, BLOG!
