DESCRIPTION
Coda is a one-window web development app. Coda takes all of the tools you need to build the future of the web, including an integrated file browser, fully-featured text editor, CSS editor, preview, built-in terminal, and complete set of reference, and wraps it all in a single elegant interface.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.6.4:
- Added support for "Q-style" strings in Ruby files
- Improved Regexp highlighting in Javascript and Ruby — now also highlights escaped character sequences
- Improved ASP-HTML code navigator
- Coda plug-ins now support the LSMinimumSystemVersion info.plist key
- No longer searches files inside of .git folders
- In some cases using the Move... command on a remote file using relative paths Coda would calculate the path based on the local path instead of the remote path.
- When clicking on a symbol in a long file, Coda now always scrolls to the correct location
- When auto-completing <!-- --> comments, Coda no longer adds a stray >
- Fixed a bug in which you could remove the last clip group in certain situations
- Fixed retry errors after TLSv23 login failure
- Other minor changes
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

APPLEHC I tried BBEDit (just overloaded) and Expresso (via MacHeist bundle. Nice, but sure not ready for primetime) Now I tried Coda. I love it: It will keep all my PHP and HTLM files up-to date with the local SVN repository I am using. And it will upload all changes via simple commands. You can even add folders or files to your projects and they will show up in the SVN by "magic" :) Highly recommended!

JBLAKEH900 Unable to justify Adobe's steep upgrade prices for CS4, I started looking for alternatives to what has become a bloated, slow and expensive suite of software tools. Switching from Dreamweaver to Coda has been a welcome surprise. Coda is much cheaper than Dreamweaver, and lighter - 50MB vs. Dreamweaver's 400MB+, faster, and much more intuitive. The feature set is more useful and lacks the bloat that has made Dreamweaver such a slug. The interface is gorgeous compared to the mess of palettes in Dreamweaver - the CSS editing mode is brilliant, and the text hinting while editing code is beautifully implemented. I haven't used the terminal tools yet, as I am more of a designer than a programmer.

EGAMI Coda just slays (it is amazing)! I recently ditched Dreamweaver for this program, purchased a license and have never looked back. The application is so fast, intuitive and overall fun to work with that it makes something that has the potential to be insanely boring (coding), into exciting stuff! This new update (1.6.4) is very good and I am glad that it fixes both the issue with the code navigator and the comment tag where Coda would insert a ">" in the middle. Keep up the good work guys!

MARK FLORIDA Coda is certainly a great web development tool, but I hate to admit that I still prefer Dreamweaver(even with its bloat and feature-creep). I'd really like to stop using Dreamweaver, but it's like an old friend that you've known forever and still hang out with even though he won't let go of the '90s.

JOEYA Coda is easily the best web IDE on the market for front end designers like myself. TextMate and BBEdit seem to have better support for web based scripting languages while Coda appears to be aimed more at the X/HTML CSS crowd. As I typically build web-based templates or static websites, the default toolset in Coda suits me nicely. That said, the CSS editor (as of 1.6.2) is pretty much useless. Without a dedicated live preview window, editing CSS via the provided visual tools requires multiple screen splits. You need one split for the page and one for the CSS editor. Even worse you need to toggle both splits to edit mode to have access to markup. It's about the most clumsy implementation of a CSS editor I've ever seen. Considering I'm using 4 monitors, it's a bit absurd to have all of my stuff crammed into just one screen however that's the only option as Coda makes no use of a multiple monitor workflow. Coda's text editor is better, though it doesn't necessarily compare to TextMate or BBEdit in terms of robustness. Here again Coda offers no dedicated preview window so you end up playing the toggle back and forth game as you develop. Even still, the ability to set a local preview URL allows you to preview dynamic content via a local server so I've generally been pleased with the feature set here. FTP, SVN, Terminal and books are icing on the cake. I'd suggest that the FTP could be more full featured (especially since these guys make Transmit) but it's functional. And in many ways that seems to be the running theme with Coda. It's a jack of all trades, master of none. But Panic is a good company that listens to their customers so I expect big things from 2.0.

LOKHEED Well said. I find Coda to be an excellent tool, but it seriously cripples me workflow. I emailed them a while back pointing out one tiny modification that would really help in my coding (better highlighting of the line you are working on). I thought the implementation was simple and elegant. The develop that replied thanked me and that is the last I heard of it. I have sent in bug reports and after 3 iterations, they still haven't been fixed. Perhaps only a small portion of us suffer from the bug, but still, it would be nice to see some movement. All in all, I won't expect them to change much. They seem pretty set in their ways; convinced they know what's best, so I have stopped trying. I will use it because I paid for it, but if something works better, then I am gone (and so is my recommendation). I am closely watching Espresso, but there is so little movement on that, that it will take a long before it replaces Coda. Dreamweaver is not an option. A reluctant Coda user.

RMATHEW1973 I've never written a review before, but this piece of software so inspired me that I felt I had to. It has to be the best web development IDE I've used by far and I've used a lot. Keep up the good work. The only things I would like to see would be code folding, php debugging(would be nice, but not required because I understand that the tool encompasses more than one server side technology)and a gui designer with the basic html tag types and drag and drop ability. Another cool thing would be to have a graphical mysql editor. Regardless of the suggestions, It's still an awesome tool.

GNDZAPP As far as an all-in-one development tool for web designers and coders, Coda sets the bar. 'nuff said :)
