I LOVED Coda, it was my first "real" editor (a step up from NP++) but now that I'm using IDEA I can't imagine going back to something with such a small market cap/plugin developer ecosystem. I wish Panic the best (and I still love them as a company) but I just don't see Coda/Nova being worth it (price or ecosystem-wise) just to have a beautiful editor. Maybe I'll try a trial when it comes out but it just looks... less powerful... that I really need from my editor. All that said Panic is awesome and the breadth of what they do (Mac Apps, iOS App, Games, handheld gaming hardware) is crazy. I wish they would show Prompt some more love as I fear that is slowly being abandoned and I'll have to find an alternative SSH iOS client.

Termius is an excellent alternative. (I am a happy user, and unaffiliated.) https://www.termius.com/ https://www.termius.com/

  If it was a one-time purchase I'd be interested but I don't want or need a full terminal replacement across all my platforms. I just want a solid iOS SSH client and I'm willing to pay (I already paid for Prompt and Prompt 2 along with a handful of other SSH clients that I've since discarded).

Same. Coda v1 was my first step into development, and I still compare editors (VSCode, Sublime) to it. I really miss the micro-IDE space that Coda occupied – not quite VS Code and not quite WebStorm – and I hope Nova is the same. Go Panic!

I used to be a big fan of Panic, but as you point out they abandoned Prompt once before and it sounds like they're doing it a second time, abandoned Coda and even Transmit felt abandoned for years till they did the big rewrite which seemed like a big step back for that application in terms of design and performance (100% CPU while uploading on my machine).
