Well, it seems like some people have been talking to some people. Almost the same day as Panic released Coda, MacRabbit released CSSEdit 2.5. The biggest news is the tabs, but there are more stuff to be happy about:

Tabs. Yes, this one may not come as a surprise anymore. However, I am sure you will be quite surprised once you try them out. Pictures simply don’t do them justice.

X-ray Inspector. This must absolutely be the most popular feature request of all time. Lo and behold, here it is: the X-ray inspector shows you what styles apply to the selected element in X-ray

Selector Builder. Selector what? This is a brand new innovation that should make life much, much easier for anyone starting out with CSS (or teaching it). Define your selectors in plain English, and it generates the necessary code for you.

Various improvements all over the application: a navigation bar in the Preview, a font picker, selector CodeSense, a text shadow editor, brand new shiny wonderful HUD inspectors, etc. Major changes everywhere!

Version 2.5 is free for all 2.x users and costs less than a pair of shoes for everyone else.

Panic, creator of Transmit and other delightful OS X software has released it’s new baby - Coda. Coda is a web development tool for coders, not a WYSIWYG editor, even though is has a handy preview tab (it uses the Safari engine). A first scan of the application makes it quite obvious that Coda has “borrowed” some features and interface details from the popular TextMate, wich is not a bad thing since TextMate is an all-time favourite text editor for Mac. Some other handy features are the built-in terminal, easy site publishing and an integrated FTP editor (bye bye Transmit).

One thing missing from most popular text editors like BBEdit, TextMate and the new member Coda is the possibility to customize shortcuts. Especially for all of us who don’t use American keybboards, the shortcut for indenting text using “[” and “]” is impossible and very annoying.

From the creators:

So, we code web sites by hand. And one day, it hit us: our web workflow was wonky. We’d have our text editor open, with Transmit open to save files to the server. We’d be previewing in Safari, running queries in Terminal, using a CSS editor, and reading references on the web. “This could be easier,” we realized. “And much cooler.”
