Applause to MacRabbit, Panic and others.
The winner for Apple Design Awards 2007 has just been announced and I am glad in seeing names that I feel familiar with. :)
I've started using CSSEdit since v2.0, it stood out of the crowd at the time when I was looking for a nice CSS Editor. Simple, elegant and fast is a short summary. But it's not only skip deep, the X-Ray, live preview, real time updating and style lookup features simply blew me away! Validation, to-do list, style grouping, smart comment ... I can just keep going on and on. The features continue to grow in v2.5, like tabbed editing, style override, etc. Updating the website can now brings so much fun!
Panic, I've been the fans of this company since Transit. Now, Coda has entered the market for not so long, but has already stirred up a lot of discussion. Following the tradition of Panic, the interface is clean and beautiful, and it brings almost all the tools that a developer ever needs into a single application.
The FTP client, editor is top notch. The build in terminal is the feature I like most and the reference book is useful when you want a quick lookup. You can even setup a number of sites as your favorites in speeding up the connection. It is a very useful tool for the developer although there are still some rough edges. For instance, I find it difficult to change back to a file I was editing if I changed the functions (e.g. from FTP to Preview). Besides, the CSS editor simply pales when compare with CSSEdit 2.5. Also, it's a bit difficult to work with local files, since "Site" is the major idea of the application. You have to ftp back to the own machine if you want to work on local files.
Anyway, a big applause to all the winners, especially to MacRabbit and Panic.
