I'm new to programming. Is Coda worth the $99 price compared to Sublime?
I prefer Sublime, but Coda has better support for accessing remote locations (via FTP, sFTP, etc). With ST2, you need a third party plugin to do this and I found it a bit awkward to use.

#22Love Coda 2 and am very excited about Coda 2.5. The one major annoyance for me with 2 was not being able to search remote locations. I don't see this in the release notes. If the Panic team is listening, can we get this in version 3?
The workaround would be to use a setup that mounts SFTP drives locally (ExpanDrive, MacFusion, etc).

I have both, Sublime seems to be leaner, but Coda has some neat features. If you are new to programming I would personally use Sublime since it is free, and then decide from there after a month or so.
Sublime is great but _not_ free.
I used to like Coda when I was mostly developing PHP stuff solo with MAMP, but when doing serious stuff I find it kind of an impediment. I still love Transmit.

#26I definitely outgrew Coda a few years ago although I occasionally fire it up to use its visual grep. However, in the time since I switched to other editors (Chocolat, Sublime, and now Atom), my workflow has changed significantly. I'm ready to do a clean install for Yosemite, and maybe it's also time to give Coda another look. I had been planning to switch back to Sublime after giving Atom a shot (there's a lot to lik…

#27I've used Coda for a few years, during which time I started using Sublime + wbond's FTP plugin. Coda is still crucial to my remote PHP freelance workflow. For remote work, it's a much more polished experience when dealing simultaneously with multiple active/live projects. Sublime FTP's experience can improve slightly when using it in mirror mode, but in practice I've found issues with very slight time differences bet…
Please do not use FTP, FTP sends everything over the wire in clear text, across the entire internet. You should not be using FTP for anything ever. Use SFTP, scp, HTTPS from the server, but not FTP.

What did you think of Chocolat, compared to the others? I've been meaning to give it a try.
Re: Coda 2.5 Released
#29I really, really enjoyed Coda for quite a few years in the 1.x days. Panic makes really good stuff. But had a hard time figuring out how to work Coda into a more "modern" workflow with Git, and moved on to Sublime because it has a more active plugin community and is cross-platform. Maybe I should take another look at it. Coda definitely excels at the "I have a local copy of a website, and need to sync it with what's…
