I was downvoted (unjustly) when I mentioned App Sandboxing the other day (here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4004833 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4004833). Apple will force sandbox effective June 1st, so they can't provide updates through MAS version if Coda 2 is not fully sandboxed. They haven't said anywhere whether that's the case or not.
The support page says:
Apple often changes the conditions for Mac App Store eligibility, and it's possible
we may have to modify or remove features from the Mac App Store version in the future.
It's our intent to keep them as close to identical as Apple will let us.
-----------
So, they might be forced to remove some features from the MAS version, in that case, it'd be better to get it directly from panic.com. On the other hand, MAS version sports iCloud support, so if it's fully sandboxed, it's better to get it from MAS.
We can wait a few weeks to see which on is the case, but in that case, we'll lose the $50 discount.
I'm sure Panic is aware of all these issues and doubts, but I can't think of an honest reason why they don't address these issues.
I love Panic and their softwares; that's why I hate to see that they're apparently playing with their customers.
- M4v3R 14y agoMaybe you could just email them and ask?
- pooriaazimi 14y agoI don't do fron-end web design, and I wouldn't buy Coda even if it was 5 dollars (I have no use for it) - if I were to buy it, I would certainly email them and ask about it. But I use several other Panic products and like them very much (Prompt for iPad is great for example). So it's not something that I actually care about in the slightest. I just wanted to warn my fellow HNers to consider these points before purchasing.
- burriko 14y agoSomebody asked them on twitter. The response isn't particularly reassuring. https://twitter.com/stevenf/status/204675630363721728 https://twitter.com/stevenf/status/204675630363721728
