Coda is expensive ($99) but the convenience of working on remote files via SFTP within the program is unmatched. If your session gets disconnected in the midst of editing a file, nothing to worry about, Coda will automatically log back in for you and update the file you were working on when you save.
- zeeone 17y agoVIM does the same for free. $99 saved is $99 earned.
- jhancock 17y agoagreed. but many will use more than $99 worth of their time to figure out how to use it. If you've already paid the price for learning VIM, its an easy choice.
- arupchak 17y agoYou're right, but then I could also argue that any of these programs can be replaced by installing a linux port via fink and a combination of shell scripts. My point was mainly comparing Coda to other GUI text editors for the mac. It has other useful features such as one-window editing, integrated terminal, ability to preview CSS/HTML changes side by side with code, etc.
- HalcyonMuse 17y agoThanks! I was looking for a free alternative to Coda that did editing over sftp just yesterday!
- jroes 17y agoemacs with TRAMP does too
- pavel_lishin 17y agoI just mount everything via sshfs, and keep trucking with textmate.
