I basically prefer a sparse text editor with nice syntax highlighting.Ĭoda 2 is really great and will do well for many web developers and also some who only know a little html/css. Prior to ST2 I only used Smultron or vim.
My current workflow is Transmit for FTP/SFTP and Sublime Text 2.
#Coda vs bbedit full
I’ve been using Coda 2 last night and all day today, I’ve been a full time web developer for the last 6 years so I’m looking at it from that point of view. There are many things for “power editing” I am glad to have ST2 for, though. I work for sites where I have local access to the servers (over our LAN) and it’s a PITA I can’t manage my uploads to those sites automatically.īottom line, IMO is that Coda 2 is an attractive editor for the Mac. For heavy lifting in finde/replace I switched to ST2 to make the edits and then back to Coda.Ĭoda is (and has always been) optimized for working on entire sites, with an FTP, S3, or webDav connection.
#Coda vs bbedit download
Not as functional as Textastic, which allows you to download one or many files and edit offline, and ftp them up later.Īlthough Coda 2 improved its find/replace, ST2 is still WAY more powerful with multiple selections and the like. Diet Coda works with FTP and such, allows you to access files on a server and edit, rename, move etc.
I can drag an image to get a full image tag inserted.Ĭomment/uncomment works as expected annoys me in ST2 it does not automatically toggle comments.Īir Share allows me to preview my file on the iPad, with the excellent Diet Coda. The path bar at the top of a document window is great, as is the new pop-up menu for every step in the path. The autocompletes for some CSS attributes, such as color and border, offer an enhanced popup if you want with a GUI and color picker.įile navigation and management is much better than ST2 the multitude of ways to navigate the file system are great. Snippets are functional and accessible of course ST snippets can be far more powerful, but for the basics I was able to quickly reproduce ones I can’t live without. Autocomplete of tags and attributes just works welcome after the Russian Roulette completes I usually get with Sublime.
#Coda vs bbedit plus
On the plus side, the UI is very clean and attractive.
#Coda vs bbedit series
However, I would much rather have the developer(s) working on important features and functionality than on coding a complex series of settings GUIs and APIs.įWIW, I have Coda 2 now and have been using it for a few hours, for HTML/CSS/SCSS. Doing this without much in the way of easily accessible documentation from a series of hash files (or JSON, or dictionaries, or whatever you’d prefer to call it), isn’t optimal. To get the most of it, you have to make it your own, and in order to do that, you need to tweak a bunch of settings. If I had one gripe with ST2 it would be the configuration time. But it’s lightning fast, powerful, and let’s you get stuff done fast. ST2 is not visually beautiful, let’s face it. Let’s face it, Oracle doesn’t give a crap about anything but pushing their Java agenda, and Java does nothing for me personally. The fact that it’s Ruby module doesn’t work in 7+ brings its stock down a lot. Netbeans obviously isn’t easy to develop for, and their updating SUCKS. It had promise with plugins for LESS, CoffeeScript, JSLint, etc., but they aren’t maintained well. I was close with Netbeans, and still use it occasionally for certain things, but it is too Java-oriented. I see that not as a benefit, but a detriment. Espresso was close to being good, but I honestly think it has the same issues that Coda and other “middleweight” editors have: They aren’t powerful enough to feel like a complete IDE, and aren’t lightweight and quick enough to feel like a good text editor. I’ve worked with Textmate, Taco, Netbeans, Nightmareweaver, Coda, and Espresso, to name a few. Every time I go in, look at the GUI and features, and feel optimistic, and every time I end up fighting with the interface and getting less done. Nothing I have tried has given me the level of productivity that ST2 gives, and I have tried many contenders.
