I tried out Coda about 6 months ago desperate to find an alternative to Dreamweaver but it lacked a few key features one of which was site wide search! It’s great to see that they’ve also added a plug-in architecture which is what gave dreamweaver its edge. I’m looking forward to having a play.

Dreamweaver has frustrated me for the last 3 releases because they have done nothing to improve the app, only ‘add’ supposed useful ‘features’. Simplify, simplify and simplify some more. Make things easier for developers. Don’t add features thinking that you are adding ‘value’. Typical McDonalds thinking.

Rant over!

Awesome, glad I could help. If you are comfortable or want to become really good at coding, Coda is the way to go on OS X. I’ll highlight some more features eventually but previewing a site in Coda is also light years better than Dreamweaver.

Let me know if you have any questions
