Coda. Hands-down it's the best text-editor I've ever used. But it's also an FTP/SFTP client. And it'll integrate with your version control. And it will provide you with a local console/SHH, CSS editor & browser preview (if you are a web-developer) and a small reference library built-in to the app... In case you haven't noticed I really can't speak highly enough of Coda. And to make matters even better, if you have a bug: report it. Don't be surprised when you hear back from the developers the next day... http://www.panic.com/coda/ http://www.panic.com/coda/

I liked Coda, but I had the same problem with it that I have with pretty much every specialty editor on the Mac: once you've got your Emacs groove worked out, there's very little you can do to create a serious value-add. I didn't find Coda so much better than the tools I already had to make it worthwhile. I'm also not a huge fan of the Coda CSS editor, although modern browsers are quickly obsoleting CSS editors anyways.

  I'll admit that I never actually use the CSS editor... I'm very comfortable writing my CSS by hand so I continue to do it like I always have. As far as Coda vs Emacs... I think that's like anything else. I can replicate all of the functionality of Coda using GEdit + plugins on Ubuntu but it doesn't have the same feel of a beautiful, coherent, whole. I've never gotten into vim/emacs in particular as I'm a bit of a fan of nice GUIs.
