They seem to have defined their target user, and design around it. And I think most of us are not this target user. I have used Coda since 1.0, but later switched to TextMate and now, Sublime Text. And eventually, I replaced all the good parts of Coda with something that wouldn't work with Coda as well: - I write Ruby, not PHP, and it's not one-input-file-equals-one-output-file at all. So preview is not that useful. Completion probably won't work for Ruby as well as for PHP, and so on. - I don't write CSS or JS anymore, and I don't think I could live without my SCSS or CoffeeScript (well, I can, but it's painful). So all the fancy CSS GUI pop-ups don't help, I have a probably even better solution in code and mixins. - Finally, all the UI seems to be Novice-friendly, with sidebars and tabs, while I don't even have a sidebar at all on ST2, and just use Cmd+T for opening / switching files. Also, as for the site itself, the demo tour looks awesome (even though a bit crammed). All the best to them! I won't be upgrading, but I think many will find Coda 2 a great improvement. P.S. I love that they list app being "Retina-Ready" while we still don't have any retina Macs yet :)

I followed that same path of editors but ended in vim (instead of sublime) and use a number terminal tools. Coda is really pretty and wish i could have some of my workflow.

  (Sublime is gradually implementing VI commands, if anyone's interested. Look up the Vintage and VintageEx packages.)

    I use the vintage package and although not a vim guy, it's definitely useful in some cases. warming up to vim because of the package.

    Yes, I did notices that. Sublime is very tempting but the cost and having a workflow that I'm happy with stop me from using in a project atm.

      Cost? Seriously? It's like $40.

        $59; which is IMHO a totally fair price. Even if you're that strapped for cash, there's no cap on the trial so you aren't pressed for time to come up with the money.

Oh yeah, I watched it without the sound and didnt notice until I put on my headphones. This seems like a dreamweaver replacement. Looks great, but not for my workflow. I'll stick with textmate 1 for now. I love Coda's work though, it all seems very polished and it tends to be a source of inspiration for a lot of developers, myself included.
