Can't wait to try it out... I hope it's released at midnight.

Do you think it'll be eastern time? Because I already tried changing my location on Mac app store to show Germany (it's 2 pm)

1 you should use espresso,

I've been using Espresso for a while, but only because I bought it as part of a bundle. I find it and Coda very similar, although we'll see how Coda 2 ends up being. The one main plus for Espresso is it's cheaper, but who knows how Panic will price the new Coda.


Also, Coda Diet is out now, been out all day today.

It's not out for me yet. Also, they said it will be 50% in the first 24h.

The first one? Yeah it seems like they took it down a few hours ago. Regarding Coda 2 though, I'll try it before deciding whether I buy it or not. I hope there will be a trial version on their website soon enough.

Edit : It is now available on the Mac App Store, but I'll be waiting for a trial version...

Edit 2 : It's out! Let's see.

Edit 3 : Wow, it's actually awesome...

[@Tom]

Yea, I like it a lot. It says it's 10.50 on iTunes.apple.com but $10 in iTunes, odd but Oh we'll I got it for 10!!

[Hyde]

I bought the Diet (iPad) version and tried it a bit, it's incredible for an iOS app! I'll take the day to think about it, but I will probably buy Coda 2 as well, I like it a lot...

See no that's where I can't get into coda, I prefer my terminal to be a separate app (iterm2-> theme/zsh) and the only other thing coda has is it's FTP which espresso does beautifully. Although espresso could learn something about displaying root previews like coda. The price doesn't bother me it's that I enjoy espresso more. It's that simple.

but diet coda and textastic together on my iPad is awesome, texastic for offline editing from Dropbox, coffeescript and stylus syntax highlighting and offline previews. Then diet coda for ssh, terminal, live editing, bunch more (although texastic has syntax highlighting for rails )

[arronhunt]

I wan to know why Espresso2.0 didn't get this much attention when it was released last year. Combining it with CSSEdit and adding the new features was beast, yet I didn't see one mention of it. So sad.

Anyways, anyone tried Diet with a hardware keyboard? I can't stand typing on the iPad.

I absoloutely adore Coda 2. Like seriously.
I have removed my Terminal, Git Tower, Transmit, Sequel Pro and Sublime Text 2 and replaced them with this single app. Here's the things I most love:

1, The Git integration. It's a simple implementation, and it's fast, I like it a lot
2, The ability to quickly hit on Files and see both your project root and the remote server project root. Read the log files that were just generated. See if graphs are generating properly.
3, The Hints or whatever it is thing in the sidebar. Type in a PHP function and see the php.net description of it. You do not know how much Google'ing to find out whether haystack or needle comes first this has saved
4, Publishing, I like to develop on my local machine and test on a remote. That is, I like to have the files locally for Git, and then every time I make a change, I usually hit Terminal, type ./s and an rsync script syncs my changes to the server where I test. Now I can just hit Ctrl+Cmd+P and all my changes instantly publish
5, Layout, it's so sexy, if you change your settings for them to be small, you don't lose much screen real estate, yet it's nice to have a nice bunch of squares to see what you're working on right now. There's also the sexy sites start page, and the different tabs on the sidebar. It's just damn nice.

mmm coda 2 and espresso???

arrrr I love espresso but I wonder if coda would be nice for more backend stuff?


IDEAS?

[Hyde]

Yes! Coda 2 is incredible. Coda 1 is the first editor I used on my Mac and wasn't too crazy about it. In one year, I have switched from Coda to Espresso (editor was amateurish), then Sublime Text 2 and finally Chocolat. It seems like this ultimately ends my quest for the best editor... Here are a few things that I particularly appreciate about it :

• They greatly improved autocompletion. It now automatically indents like it should. This is something that annoyed me with Coda 1.
  
• The integrated FTP feature is the best one I've seen in an IDE. It's scarily similar to Transmit, in fact I won't need this one no more.
  
• They removed the CSS interface, which was extremely useless in my opinion. UI windows now appear as you type in a CSS file (autocompletion).
  
• The MySQL feature looks great and I can't wait to use it.
  
• More customizable than Espresso.
  
• In SE2 and Chocolat, I was struggling to find a theme that I liked. I fact I hated all default themes.
  
• You can easily configure .less files to open with CSS highlighting.

Other than that, it has the same features that the other editors have, but I find them to be generally a lot more polished in Coda 2. It's a very solid editor, and for 50$ it's a no-brainer.

[@Tom]

The fact that it has the features of transmit and git tower alone are what are making me consider it. I may keep espresso for the html,css,stylus,coffeescript and use coda for node.js, rails and other server stuff. Plus keep along good ol bbedit for textediting, quick fixes. This may just make an arsonel of editors.

coda2
espresso
bbedit
iterm2

update: Bought it

Why would you need Espresso or BBEdit if you have Coda? Also, Coda's SSH feature can perhaps replace iTerm2 to a certain extent.

BBEdit is for text editing when I don't want to open coda up. (changing my zsh_profile for example)
Iterm2 I use terminal for other things besides my current website that'll be in coda. It's still useful.
Espresso You can have two similar tools if you dedicate your front end to espresso, That may change when coda gets stylus syntax highlighting though.

I know, that's why I said "perhaps" and "to some extent".
