I find it much easier to pixel-hawk and correct layout issues when I save an offensive generated page and then edit it in an HTML editing environment (Lighttable is good for this with JS/CSS weirdness as well).

I can do the same with the various web dev plugins, but I rather like being able to save the intermediate result and not have to worry about a refresh changing the underlying state of my view.

I've used Tailor, the Chrome port of Brackets, and it's a beautiful editor. I would love to use it full time on my Chromebook, however the Live Editing feature is broken and the Git integration is lacking. It also lacks some other standard things, like Find/Replace.

I recently found another Chrome editor, Caret, that feels a little more powerful (and more in line with how I use Sublime.) It's quite a big uglier though, unfortunately.

That's a different thing. Templated, as in "this html isn't coming from a rails partial" etc.

I think I'm in over my head now. I've never even used Rails and know almost nothing about it.

Templated, I think, as in a page is not using PHP or some other language to pull content from several files or a database.

If I may ask the author(s): what was the motivation of writing this app for native platforms but making use of webkit-node or similar technologies and tools? This to me seems like it has become a popular technique for writing cross-platform applications, but it also seems like it has many drawbacks which make it an unattractive option, with the only advantage being that the authors already know CSS/JS/HTML and can leverage that knowledge to make a protoduction-quality application. Can you confirm that this is the case, or was there some other reasons and/or factors that led to such a decision? Thank you for your time, and have a relaxing evening.

As a dirty prototyping pseudo-dev, the one thing that keeps me using Coda is its native ftp/scp capabilities. I can open files on a remote server as if they were local and command-s saves them back there.

Right now it seems that none of these other editors support that function. I know I can run ssh-fs or similar, but that requires much more setup.

OK, that makes sense to me. Thank you.

Sublime Text + SFTP plugin will let you do this.

try cyberduck. you can set the default editor for remote files.
