Seriously? Is there a conspiracy to destroy everything that's great on the Mac? First BBEdit completely destroys their product and can't read user feedback from all the self congratulating backslaps, and now my refuge in Panic software has been lobotomized.
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.
Let me just say that forcing me to use my Address Book to enter a client is an immediate deal breaker for me. Study OMNI Group software. They understand the need to remove dependencies on Apple software. Allow the "option" to, but don't force me please.
Wow, 10.x is absolute JUNK. I've converted entire companies using this product alone from Windows to Mac. This version guts everything that was great about its previous versions. The developers are stuck on DEFEND mode while the app forces markup work BACK on the user. Remember all your tags folks! Exact spelling, attribute trees, and generally engage in a dialog to then type everything in manually. What's the point?
Also, try opening a large file. Something that Coda can do in a split second. BBEdit goes into this crashing - non responding mode for days. Is it really that hard? Seriously, no application has a problem with doing this save BBEdit.
Barebones software, you can now finally claim that you make software that SUCKS!
Absolutely HORRIBLE product. You have to install something called SoundFlower to get sound out of applications. Yeah awesome, except it doesn't work. You do a tiny test movie, fine. You go more than 10 minutes, or an hour, or more and nothing. Huge file with empty sound. Save your money.
