KRISTINE_NX I love this app. Great response time from the developer. I just wish an educational discount was offered. The price tag isn't overly priced just slightly out of my price range at the moment. I'm hoping that it will be an MU discount soon. (Version 1.6.7) | |

NNTH I've purchased Coda 2 weeks ago but have no need to use it now! I just feel it's a big waste (bought it at 99$ price-tag) if I just leave it alone. I'd like to transfer the license (50% or lower the price) to the one who really need it! Contact me at : it.trunghieu [at] gmail.com (Version 1.6.5) | |

DEWEYACCOUNTS I honestly can't see anything that this product would add to my workflow. Textmate, TextWrangler, CSSEdit and a little Expresso is all you'll ever need. The one-window thing just doesn't work for me. I don't even see an $85 value here. It looks like the icon designer may be getting a commission. And I'm sorry but after Transmit, I'm not ever buying another piece of software from Panic. They don't respond to criticism very well. They don't like feature requests apparently. They think they know everything about making software that is wonderful, awesome, intuitive, etc. etc..... (Version 1.6.5) | |

MLOADER This is a true Mac app. I got tired of the flakiness and bloat of Dreamweaver but my biggest beef was how un-mac it was. How long has OS X been out? Adobe still writes Carbon apps. It is very clear Dreamweaver is a Windows app first then a Mac port. I tried other apps out there and most looked promising, but Coda is the quickest usability speaking. I rarely have to use my mouse. I got a plugin that changes the focus of the file browser to the file editor and I can fly through directories, open files, switch sites, preview without ever touching my mouse. Gui is awesome, tools are great and the one window makes it easy to keep organized. (Version 1.6.5) | |

MOREFOOD Comparing Dreamweaver CS3 to Coda, I quickly stuck with Coda, since it works exactly as it should and does not crash. The only extra feature that I would like to see is a better debugging option, but at the moment Safari does that job. If the people at Apple are smart, they add Coda to the Snow Leopard XCode Tools, to offer a broader spectrum of coding tools, expecially since they dropped the "me" personal websites. To the developers: I keep discovering new features, which makes Coda a joy to use. *PHP, Perl, python and HTML developer* (Version 1.6.4) | |

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! (Version 1.6.4) | |

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. (Version 1.6.4) | |

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!

HIHAGEN The best tool for coding! I use it for my PHP and XML work. (Version 1.6.3) | |

M_FLO 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. (Version 1.6.3) | |

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. (Version 1.6.3) | |
