Basically, Coda is great if you're just working on plain, static HTML files that aren't part of a content management system and don't involve any kind of server-side code like PHP, but as soon as you start dealing with any kind of complexity, Coda's integration starts to fall apart.
It's a shame, because I love the idea of using a single integrated tool, but it's just not flexible enough for any of the work I do. The text editor is the most critical part, and it still falls well short of what BBEdit can do — which is understandable, really, since BBEdit is far more mature, but it does call into question the idea of building everything into one app when the individual pieces aren't competitive with the individual apps they're supposed to replace.
The code folding is finicky and doesn't work properly most of the time; it's not correctly parsing even relatively simple HTML documents (which BBEdit has no problem with). The CSS 'pops' seem needlessly difficult to access, requiring a double-click in exactly the right spot to show the available 'pops', and *another* double-click to open it. If it takes four clicks just to get in there, I might as well just edit the text value myself. I'd probably only ever use the color picker (and BBEdit already lets me edit colors with the standard OS X color picker, so…).
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to like about Coda 2. The reference panel is fantastic. The built-in MySQL tool is really nice (hopefully they'll expand it to support Postgres and other DBMS in the future). I love a lot of what they've done here, but the trouble with an integrated solution is that it tends to succeed or fail as a whole, and for me, there are a few critical parts that bring down the whole ship.
I'm gonna spend another few hours playing with it to see if I can make it work, but like I said, it looks like I'll end up sticking with BBEdit and the handful of other apps I use.

Coda 2? Yeah, thanks for making my life more difficult. I just LOVE me some CSS memorization. Thanks for taking out all the CSS tags that I loathe remembering. At this point Notepad on the Windows platform has as much intelligence as Coda's CSS editor. Bring back a visual panel to the right of a CSS sheet. First pane, CODE, Second pane, EXAMPLE, Third pane VISUAL EDITOR.
I will not be buying this version. Coda 1.7.5 is damn near perfect as is. A little behind on the CSS side, but overall, less clicks to get the job done.
Coda 2 has created mountains of clicks and drags just to do basic work. This is what happens when pragmatic programmers design user interfaces. You either have the talent or you don't. Microsoft anyone?
Little secret Panic: COUNT THE CLICKS.
Count the clicks to accomplish work in Coda 1.7.5, then count the clicks to do the same work in 2.0. Dreadful increase in work to use your product, and thus a drastic reduction in productivity for customers.
Someone said they felt like they've been "kicked in the gut." That about sums it up. And before you go the Barebones software defensive route, this isn't a lack of customers embracing the future. This is sheer mathematics of increased labor to use your product. Time to press UNDO.

Almost perfect for my use.. EXCEPT.. still no live preview when working in CCS.. so I could give it four stars.. almost five.. but since I won't use it and I WILL STICK TO ESPRESSO.. I will not grade it at all.
Of course I can use Live Reload.. except that means I need to save every time I want to see a change.. with Espresso I don't' have to and I really like that.

IF you were a DJ I'd say you saved my Life ;-) I can now proceed in really trying this new version for a few days !
I ALSO FOUND ANOTHER PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT IS QUITE COOL !
I'm also trying WEB EDITOR from COFFEECUP (only of.. I find all these softs pretty cheap compared to say Adobe MonsterHouse so I think they all deserve support to progress come up with the best of the best.

I am now left feeling like someone kicked me in the gut. I guess I would say Coda 2 is heading in a different direction than my web development. No syntax support for Haml, Coffeescript.
Code folding doesn't work for these either types unless you manually select a block and fold. The preview feature doesn't work for a Rails based site.
So then, download the demo and take it for a spin, but make sure it fits your needs. If it does, you will probably love it, otherwise you may have outgrown it. I immediately purchased a copy of Chocolat (itself still in beta) and am planning on saying goodbye to Coda. I feel like I am losing a friend.

Nevertheless I have one big complaint: Coda 2 misses the WYSIWYG CSS editor that Coda 1 once owned. The new CSS editor of Coda presumes that you already know all availabe CSS attributes. This is a huge step backwards and prevents me from buying Coda 2 – as low as the introductery price may be.

I know OmniWeb has this, but it's not being developed anymore. :(
Sorry for being a bit off-topic. :)
