I managed to make Nova work for some trivial frontend stuff, but not having a built-in robust git client really threw my workflow off. I don't really like using a separate terminal for diffing, nor do I like the default diff viewer for git anyway, nor do I want to buy Kaleidoscope for a billion dollars for that one thing, which would be an external viewer anyway. Yes I want a native mac app, but it doesn't really count as a better experience if some of my interactions are slightly more spiffy and some key things aren't present at all. I do like something that is just a good text editor like TextMate was, but Coda and Nova were always trying to be in this middle-ground area. Macrabbit used to have a great app for thibg called Espresso which I loved for just CSS, HTML, and Basic JS. I'd give Nova another shot in a second if there was a significant feature-rich update, that includes things that other people rightfully get hung-up on. Nova has something unique in both a product and market. The customer-base is willing to give it repeated shots before totally writing it off, and that's a blessing that the majority of companies don't get.
