Coda – the Dreamweaver Replacement on a Mac

Posted by Richard Wong under Tools | 0 Comment

After using Coda for almost 6 months, I have to say that I did not miss one single feature about Dreamweaver. Most developers nowadays hand craft their sites in CSS and HTML. So a rock solid text editor with an integrated FTP is very important which is what Coda provides.

The editor provides most of standard feature you would expect but packaged in a very beautiful and neat interface. It looks after the designers with a well made CSS editor and Developers with integrated Terminal for SSH access.

With all the powerful features, Coda only cost $79 comparing to $399 for Dreamweaver!
