Espresso is not a bunch of apps forcibly smashed together. Instead, we looked at the needs of modern web developers and streamlined their workflow into one focused app. Extremely powerful editing and searching, sleek projects, live preview (we make CSSEdit!), real publishing and extensive synchronization tools.

"This update is free for all existing users."
Well, that's not true, is it? It will be free for all users of version 2.x, but I, as a user of 1.x, cannot update. At least, not for free, that is.

Well it's the semantic difference between "update" and "upgrade" isn't it? The developer probably should have written "all existing users of version 2" to make it clearer.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've updated the release notes to make it a bit more clear.

A good product, but has some deal breaking flaws. The primary one is that it can't upload files larger than 16kb to some web hosts. Its FTP system truncates them. Developer is aware of this, and has been for some time. No fix and no timeline to get it fixed.

Checking out Coda and others, not because I want to but because I have to. This software just no longer works in our environment.

I just purchased this product and have found it quite enjoyable. With a few more features this could be a really great editor.

Yes, as he said, for CSSEdit alone this is good. For HTML coding it's a good start, but without a way to deal with images (the app can't determine an image's size or path!) it's not useful for serious work.

This gets its 4 rating on the fact that CSSEdit within it is worth 6 stars. But CSSEdit alone was so much faster and more responsive and half the price. This seems to slow down as you use it and has a habit of crashing.

If they can iron out this issues (in 2.0.2 perhaps) it'll be a great program. Although to be honest they should really still release CSSEdit as a standalone. I don't really need the rest.

In short, CSSEdit was one of the best apps ever released for the Mac. The live updating is something I cannot imagine working without. Now you have to get the whole of Espresso to get CSSEdit (which to me is still worth it) but I'd prefer a lighter app.

Really, it's quite good! The more I use it, the more I like it. It's prettier than Textmate, all in all, and feels solid, polished, and well integrated. I am still bummed out that it becomes an expensive way to update to CSSEdit3, when a stand-alone forward path for CSSEdit would have made me happy enough.

Damn, I'm another CSSEdit loyalist quite bummed to see CSSEdit rolled into this sad attempt to do it all. This would be a workflow downgrade for me, now using CSSEDit, TextMate, Fetch, Finder, etc. I don't want a weak all-in-one bloated monster. I would use Dreamweaver, which I own, if I wanted something like that. I'd happily pay for a CSSEDit upgrade, but not this. I was thinking of moving to Lion, but CSS going funky and missing will keep me at Snow Leopard for a while more.

Unfortunately, like many others here sorely miss CSS Edit. This merging of applications doesn't really feel like a good union. Like others, most of the features I loved are gone, such as duplicating statements and statement filters.

In addition, the new app takes up tons of memory. Copying large chunks of JS? Espresso has a tendency to crash when you do. Managing large projects or large clipboards leads to a lot of performance issues.

CSSEdit was my all-time, favorite program. Espresso was always fine - it certainly looked better than its more powerful competitors, but it was simple. However, Espresso 2 seems to be less than the sum of its parts.

I agree with you heartily. I don't need a web editor, just the CSSEdit part. If they don't split it off after reading all the comments on here, I'll unfortunately have to find another visual CSS3 editor.

Does anyone KNOW of another good stand-alone CSS editor?

Great app.

+1 on missing one-click-validation and not being able to resize the CSS toolbar.

Other than that, the live-preview is a must have.

As a longtime user of CSSEdit, I am disappointed with the feature strip, CSSEdit seems m ore user friendly. Maybe I'm just not used to the new layout but for now I'll stick with BBEdit/CssEdit and Transmit for my workflow.

Espresso is not a bunch of apps forcibly smashed together. Instead, we looked at the needs of modern web developers and streamlined their workflow into one focused app. Extremely powerful editing and searching, sleek projects, live preview (we make CSSEdit!), real publishing and extensive synchronization tools.

Some features:

The Art of Code
Why choose between beauty and power? Between features and speed? With Espresso, you don't have to. Elegant syntax highlighting, superior navigation, code folding, smart CodeSense, contextual text snippets, spell check, rich extensibility and raw speed: presenting a state-of-the-art text engine for code artists.

Navigator - much more than an ordinary symbol list
Espresso has a unique Navigator that's best compared to CSSEdit's styles list. It shows the hierarchical structure in your documents, no matter how complex. You can even drag around elements to reorganize your code!

Smart snippets
No editor is complete without a way to keep frequently used pieces of text. The sleek Snippets tool does that, and more. You can take advantage of selection placeholders, mirror transformations and tab triggers. Some languages even offer advanced contextual snippets, showing you just what you need.

Code folding - a hidden delight
There is more than meets the eye in the Espresso text editor. Move your mouse over the line number gutter, and a handy code folding ribbon fades in. Quickly collapse blocks of text for a more focused look at code. And the best thing? It works for any language that shows up in the Navigator.

CodeSense knows where you are
Espresso features an immensely powerful rule-based syntax engine, Core Syntax, that transforms your text documents into semantic structure. CodeSense leverages this power to suggest smart contextual completions in a language-independent manner. Any Sugar can easily offer amazing auto-completion support without writing a single line of code. And because completions are based on the advanced snippets, they are much more intelligent than simple text insertions.

Checks your speling, too
Of all the things you could write, messages to your users are probably the most influential. That's why Espresso checks spelling as you type in non-code contexts. Whether you're designing a site, coding a web app or writing an article, preventing a few typos is always welcome.
