What a major bummer. Sad to see one of the big web development stars on the Mac come to such abandon. Like many others, I tried Espresso, and didn't care for it. I don't need a site management program or anything like that. I've been handling huge web sites with nothing but an FTP program and a text editor for a decade. CSSEdit fit lovely into that role, and while it wasn't the best tool for making sure everything looked good in Windows (but really, what is on the Mac) and it hadn't been updated in ages, it's still been used by me to write thousands of lines of CSS over the years. Bah. Three stars for the memories. I'd stay using one operating system for years if I could; but I can't.

Today, it's a sad day: While Espresso 2.0 is born, CSSEdit died. CSSEdit still is my favorite tool to develop new web designs although it lacks CSS3 support. Its ease of use makes CSSEdit a fast and clear application that offers unequaled opportunities. Use it in combination with your favorite text/HTML editor and you won't ever need one of those WYSIWYG code creators to make nice-looking websites. CSSEdit is a good reason to stay with Snow Leopard. I still can't believe that this great little application is not updated anymore. Really a huge loss!

I was so happy in my workflow to have a dedicated editor for the CSS. MacRabbit ruined everything. I'm an advanced Javascript developer on Eclipse (sic) and I still use CSSEdit a lot. Who cares about Espresso? I was just looking for an updated version of this program, with improved and updated panels and better @group and clever CSS support. The line numbering is also broken in Lion. No more MacRabbit to me, sorry, I used to like this company.

MacRabbit, please don't abandon this! It is better than Espresso. How can you not think so when you yourself must use Espresso? It doesn't even compare. Please update it one last time!

Apparently CSSEdit has been discontinued. At least thats what this looks like to me:

"Because future versions of CSSEdit will be integrated into Espresso exclusively, CSSEdit 2 is no longer offered for sale separately. It will no longer be updated as a standalone product, but we will continue to offer email support for it."

I'm pretty bummed myself, and not sure what they are thinking.

I'm with you on this.

Just gave Espresso 2 a whirl, and it features a downgraded version of CSSEdit. How stupid is that?! CSSEdit has been my CSS daily workhorse app for years, and now it's discontinued, because MacRabbit thinks he can compete with Coda (which is light years better than Espresso)... shheeesssshhhh.

Yah, I took a look at Espresso 2 beta and I was disappointed -- its no where near as feature rich and usable as CSSEdit is. CSSEdit + BBEdit are more powerful alone than Coda or Espresso will ever seem to be. Its a shame CSSEdit is dead.

Would easily be 4.5 stars if it wasn't for the complete lack of updates. I wouldn't mind so much if they said it was no longer under active development. CSS3 forming a much bigger part of each project now. CSS3 support in editors on OSX is just pathetic :(

If you want to add CSS3 support to CSSEdit, until the developer decides to start providing support, look here for a quick and easy mod: http://notes.jessedodds.com/post/613046962

A superb app when first released....however updates have been thin to non existent in recent months and it's feature set is slowly falling behind. Milestone (versioning) features are excellent...

I do still use it, but I also have some newer tools that are slowly maturing to take it's place. Shame about that...

Happily shelled out money for it some years ago, CSSEdit was violently valuable then. Unfortunately, development seems to have somehow stalled. Currently, I am using CSSEdit less and less, mostly due to the severe lack of support for everything going on in CSS land since then. Come on guys, it's near the end of 2010, CSS3 will soon be supported by any major browser and is already crucial when dealing with quite some smartphone-enabled web stuff. Show some love and give this neglected pearl a real update. Please!

CSSEdit 2.6.1 does no longer work under MacOS X 10.4. Unfortunately, there is no download link to the previous version 2.6 that did work under Tiger.

Macrabbit has a really lousy customer service. I wrote three mails to them concerning a download link for version 2.6 of CSSEdit. Unfortunately, I did not get any answer. What cheek!

For all those who are still working under Tiger, here is a download link for the last version of CSSEdit that worked under MacOS X 10.4:

Thank you, Jan, for the download link.

I literally gasped when I saw this, the long awaited activity on the only app of it's kind that, as a front end developer, I have considered irreplaceable. A minor update, but please.. be a sign that development will now continue.

Li7ard had trouble on 22 Jul 2011

Tip to all Lion or Safari 5.1 users. CSSedit will not work with the current safari framework, so use a previous framework from the night build: http://macrabbit.com/blog/tip-cssedit-webkit-nightly/ (the last post will work). Download a previous 4.x build, put it into Applications and then type on terminal this: "DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH="/Applications/WebKit.app/Contents/Frameworks/10.6/" WEBKIT_UNSET_DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH="YES" open -a CSSEdit". Then, ask macrabbit to discontinue that expresso shit and put all his efforts into the best css editor out there.

On this last version, switching the editor (visual, source, both) consistently crashes CSSEdit, except when nothing is open.
