MemberHello Folks,
:?:
What are the main similarities & differences between Espresso and Coda? AND
What are the Pros and Cons of each app?I am considering purchasing one of these, but I am not that familiar with them.
Cheers

ParticipantI think most people I know would say go with Coda – although I have no real logic to tell you why :D (I know I would buy coda… but im on a PC lol)
Im sure that wasnt very helpful at all LOL

MemberI am currently PC based, though I’m experimenting with running Leopard in VMware in order to trial Coda and Textmate. Having tried them I think I would switch to Mac in a second, but at the moment I just can’t afford it.
For my web dev I currently use Notepad++ with some addons (Explorer and FTP mostly).
Other PC people – what text editors do you use / recommend?

ParticipantI like dave, use notepad++ I used to use dreamweaver, but it wasn’t lightweight enough.

You can trial TextMate and Coda (Espresso is still in development), so have a good play with each before you buy.I agree. I am just trying to get feedback from people that have tested them already. Good feedback is very useful.
Anyone?March 23, 2009 at 1:18 pm #55055cgntoonartist

MemberJust thought I should point out… Espresso is part of the MacHeist bundle (though it is the last app to be unlocked) and in previous years all apps were (as far as I know) unlocked. Looks like a good deal. I’m a big Coda fan, and switching to Espresso seems a bit unloyal of me, but I need to download the app and try it out. I did try it out when it was in Beta, and definitely found it lacking, but perhaps it has been improved in the 1.0. Ultimately though, I think the competition is good, and Coda can only grow stronger as a result.

MemberAs of today, I’ll be using Espresso. I updated Coda today (after not updating in awhile) and got a nice message saying "Don’t pirate Coda… (et al)". I contacted Panic and they won’t honour my receipt of purchase. No problem with Transmit, though. For such a great company, they sure know how to ruin a day.
Textmate and Espresso will be on my dock for a while.

Memberdoes anybody know if there is any auto-formatting in espresso?
that is the one thing that bugs me in coda. I mean formatting whole (html) pages, like you can do in dw, preferrably with tag libraries.April 8, 2009 at 5:55 am #55961Rob MacKay
