I have struggled a long time if I should take a look for a new editor. I worked with eclipse a long time and everyone who has ever worked with this monster knows its advantages and disadvantages. What I really hate is the instability and bad performance with big files. Java on a mac needs so much memory that u proberbly need 4 gig of ram to be on the save site. I was shocked when I saw the memory usage of eclipse recently --> 1.1 GB. That convinced me to give over editors a try.
I tested Coda a long time ago and thought its not enougth for me. Its was a sexy editor but lots of thing where just not there or too simple. That changed with latest version of Coda 1.6. U have now a very beautiful browser, terminal and FTP integration, which makes it a pleasure to work with. As a add on u get SVN source control. It is actualy quite simple but for most the functions its sufficiant. On of the major ne features in 1.6 is definately the plugin support which is already extremly powerfull.
