Just to add my voice to the people mourning the death of this application. CSSEdit was a major part of my daily workflow for years. I own Coda too, and love it, but sometimes you just want a clean, effective CSS editor, and that's what this is.

After a couple of years away from the web design business I was very sad to find that CSSEdit has been killed off. I have no need for Espresso (Coda does me fine, thanks).

After this length of time I guess the developers are unlikely to reverse their decision, but if you miss CSSEdit, as I do, I'd encourage you to email them and politely ask them to consider resuming development.

I realise that small businesses only have finite resources available, but if there's enough demand then I'm sure they can justify the time and effort to keep it up to date. In the meantime I'll be crossing my fingers the old version keeps working as long as possible...

One of the best apps ever written for the Mac.

Why oh why did they integrate it into Espresso and remove the standalone?

Espresso is $79. I would pay $100 to get CSSEdit alone. It was that good.

Of course I can use CSSEdit within Espresso but it doesn't have that instant responsiveness that CSSEdit had, and it crashes.

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.

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.

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.

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