Tame your code. Espresso is packed with programmer-centric features, from syntax highlighting to code folding, auto-completion, and more. Whatever language you are writing, Espresso has the intuition and adaptability to help you every step of the way.

Master web design. By incorporating the award-winning CSSEdit, Espresso excels at helping you tweak the stylistic details of your site. Perfect your design with beginner-friendly CSS controls, or take advantage of live previewing options to test-drive new visual elements before adding them to your site.

Smart snippets, faster coding. Every programmer relies on frequently used bits of code. Espresso's Snippets tool gives you plenty of reusability options, including selection placeholders, mirror transformations, and tab triggers.

I have downloaded and tried to use espresso as a replacement for CSSEdit every couple months since it first started shipping. I tried again tonight.

The idea that this includes CSSEdit 3 is just not realistic. The CSS editor interface is worse, the selection of (for lack of a better description) GUI tools certainly isn't expanded to any degree. Where are the CSS3 properties? Clicking on styles in the inspector only occasionally takes you to the corresponding code in the CSS file now.

I really want this software to work. I used CSSEdit religiously as part of my workflow for a long time, but it's getting very long in the tooth. It seems to me that the CSS editor is the one part of espresso that should really be polished. CSSEdit was brilliant, people loved using it, and as a tool it worked exceptionally well.

I am crestfallen by the thought that the CSS editor in espresso may never be an adequate replacement. I've liked macrabbit's style and the previous software they have produced. As much as it pains me, at this point I'm willing to move on. Here's hoping they pull a rabbit out of a hat, or someone else makes a usable CSSEditor soon.
