There is more than one way to achieve a positive result. I think a minimum viable product makes a lot of sense for an early stage startup that is still validating their idea on the market. For a well established product like Coda or TextMate, you usually want your next edition to satisfy many of the needs of existing customers and motivate them to upgrade. Of course, this is not to say that you can't still use the minimum viable product approach. You just can't rule out doing the opposite just because it's not Lean. For established companies it can work.
