Been using TextEdit --> DWeaver for years now.
Just made the switch to Coda this morning, and am in love at first use.
Highly recommended.

What about for those who are not expert with coding, pretty friendly?

yes, definitely. probably the best $99 i've ever spent. i would recommend giving the 14-day trial a go, and if you like it, run with it and buy a license.
the streamlined one-window development is really what i've been meaning to switch to, and luckily i found the right application for myself finally.

I only paid $25 because I got it when it was first released. I'm so cool.

i've switched from dreamweaver to coda also, and i love it.
one thing i miss from dreamweaver is how you can auto complete the css id and classes that are linked to the document.
i guess if coda has that feature it wouldn't load as fast.

Is it good for anything besides CSS?

I love Textmate, can't believe I wasted all those years and money using that dogshit named Dreamweaver

I too switched from DW to Coda. I love it as well. I use it as my main dev environment at work too.

I made the jump from TextMate a short while ago because TextMate couldn't handle *huge* projects (100s of files). Coda seems to perform really well for big projects.
I had to use DW the other day for the first time in years, since a client needed to use tables for layouts (don't ask) - couldn't believe how awkward it was to use.

I have used Coda and BBEdit, Coda feels more friendly and intuative, the Code tips is the biggest advantage.
I only use Dreamweaver to set up docs and Tables...

So Coda isn't some tribe in Survivors?

OK, someone tell me how to autoformat (indent) my code. Is there a plugin or 3rd party fix for this?
If they had just included this one feature I would be totally sold on Coda, as it is I still have DW around to take care of certain tasks.

I might be missing the context of your question ukit, but this is all I found:
Line Indenting
Coda automatically indents certain markup for you by default but you’ll still find yourself using the Tab button pretty frequently. Instead of jumping to the front of a line to indent it you can push Command + Left or Right Bracket to indent the line the cursor is currently in.Shift Text
Highlighting text and pushing Command + Left or Right Bracket will shift the highlighted text left or right. This is great for shifting a whole section of markup for good looking markup formatting.

the tab thing is really just to make is easier or prettier, right? or does it has an other function?

^ Yeah pretty much what I was wondering, thx. I don't know when I became such a stickler about indenting my code,
In general, I really like the program it's nice and light compared to DW, and the UI is very slick. But I'm missing the function in DW Commands > Autoformat.
