Are you kidding me? The testimonials give the whola page a somewhat human touch. I - for one - am now pondering if there really is a story behind the "Mad at me since 2008" stuff about Apple's legal department :P
I had the opposite impression. My initial reaction was "how immature and technological incompetent are your users?". I'm guessing the app is being marketed towards hipster frontend devs.
I really don't see the value of having the compile toolchain in your editor. If you are making a serious front-end project, you will have created a gulp/grunt based workflow so that anyone with node installed can compile it. If you rely on Codekit's features, surely you're locking people into that editor? Is it really so hard to open a command window and run a single command?
But I assure you that there's definitely a market for tools like this.
I LOVE the sense of humor in the testimonials section... LULz
My one concern is does CK 2.0 create standard config files for Bower, Grunt, etc... CK 1.0 did NOT do this and made collaborating with non Mac / non CK users difficult!

"Effort vs. Result" is an important metric, and Codekit lets you just "get it done" without needing to learn how to install and set up grunt or gulp, node (edit: and uglify-js, bower, image optimization tools, sass, less, stylus, compass, etc).. It just works.
And when Codekit becomes no longer appropriate then one can spend the time required to learn and configure grunt/gulp.
I actually can't believe what I am reading atm, has this industry really gotten to a point where nobody has a sense of humor or any congratulatory comments anymore? And everyone is force to pick apart every single thing?
A bit frustration that it is a paid upgrade for Codekit 1.0 users - doesn't seem like that much has been changed, and it's not as if the first version saw a ton of updates.
My goodness, this thread is actually worse then reddit. I never thought I would see such garbage in Hacker News before. This guy is releasing a new version of his product, of which thousands probably use. He just so happens to have a sense of humor (which anyone who has used Codekit before would know about) and you guys are picking him apart like a piece of turkey. I actually can't believe what I am reading atm, has…
Combined with the other population who don't like to see tools and projects that let "lowly" developers accomplish the same things they worked so hard to do the manual/complicated way, and you get this thread so far..
Such is life...
