I wanted to like Coda, I really did. It is a strong contender, but it gets on my nerves. It's its UI weirdnesses that get me.
There is Edit mode. Of course. And the Preview mode. But the Preview mode has its own Edit mode (when you click on <> in its bottom bar) that is identical to the original Edit mode, but isn't the same - it has different options. It is weird.
Another thing, in Preview mode you can click on elements and they get a round-corner highlight. It is very nice and looks practical. A DOM path appears in the bottom strip, which would be useful if it also highlighted the code in Edit mode (like DW does). Even clicking on the last element of the DOM path doesn't highlight the code (like it would in DW). The way it is now it is completely useless, it feels like a bug.
