Coda was my primary editor up until around 2011 when I switched to Sublime Text. The built in FTP/SFTP transfers was a really big time saver and key feature. Things have changed quite a bit since then in the editor landscape, curious to see what comes.

I primary do DevOps today, and I think if their new editor implemented some DevOpsy features could be huge selling point. Remote SSH and running commands, terminal integration, git integration.



Ssh, terminal, git integration etc sounds precisely like what vscode offers to me.

Good luck to them, but I don't think vscode is doing well because it is free. It is genuinely a very good editor.


VSCode is a good editor, but it's very much in the JS-camp of stuff sort of works once you've fought through configuration and dug through SO.

Also it's manifestly un-Mac-like in noticeable ways. For example it's hard to know if I've saved a file, because Command-S doesn't highlight the menubar, no matter how many times I press it. Basic Mac features, MIA.

I'm ready for something that just works, so you'll find me camping outside Panic's digital store.
