Sillyness, werd

Coda looks cool, but… Being a Windows user for some time, where new IDEs (and text editors) are a dime a dozen, it’s always nice to try something new that looks nice. My experience is that editors that look good are not always the best at editing.

I mean, this is the exact reason why people still use vi and emacs in the shell rather than revving up a GUI.

Maybe Coda is a good editor, make sure you give it a good trial before you decide. From what I’ve seen, it’s missing some of the neat TextMate features, but many people don’t use all of those.

I completely agree with you. I simply don’t think Coda has enough advantages over TextMate to make me switch. A lot of bloggers have been getting all hot and heavy over it, but I simply can’t say I’m interested in severing the ties with the lovely TextMate.

Owen,

Yeah I know what you mean, I am a power user when it comes to TextMate, and I don’t even use half the available features.

Matt,

I simply don’t think Coda has enough advantages over TextMate to make me switch.

The one thing I can see that Coda has going for it is the integrated FTP/SFTP client. That is the one thing I wish that TextMate had integrated. Maybe someone could make a bundle for TextMate that itegrated some FTP like functionality…
