Panic brings Coda to the web development world
Coda brings all these tools together in one neat interface. You can organize your files using Sites, edit with the text editor, utilize the built in preview functionality, style your pages with the CSS builder and even access Terminal with one click for those times you need to do a little MySQL or other Terminal task. You can make your changes locally then publish to the web, or edit the files directly on the server using the built in Transmit FTP engine. And as an added bonus, for those times you are stuck trying to remember syntax or learning something new, it also includes access to HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP reference books from within the interface.

Or you could just download Aptana from Aptana.com which does the exact same thing for free.

I'm not sure about Aptana, as it looks (at first glance) to be rather complicated, and built more for programmers than designers. However, Coda looks to be an intriguing app as well. I'm definitely square in the demographic it's made for, and it's quite appealing to me.

Aptana and Coda appeal to different sets of users. Coda isn't just an IDE for coding, it's got the built-in Terminal and the Books functionality (which is super handy, I'm surprised nobody else has done something similar). Plus, it makes it really easy to keep your site files organized locally and publish changes either wholesale, updated files only, or you can (like I usually did with Transmit + TextWrangler) edit files remotely one at a time.
I tried Aptana once a few months back and thought it was a nice app, but it has a way to go in the usability department (needs to shed a few more of those Eclipse pounds).

"Finally revealed" ? This has been old news for at least a month now.

"Sorry Windows users" - and Linux users, and OS X < 10.4 users... in fact: Sorry all but 3% or so of the market...

I have been using Coda since release and I think it is a great application. The Books part isn't very useful for me though so I wish there was an option to get Coda without them at a lower price. I would also love to see them add in a graphical MySQL viewer/editor similar to NaviCat.

I've been using coda since it's release and it's taken a little while for me to get used to it. I've been using Zend Studio for the past year and it has a lot of things that I've very used to. Coda is also a little buggy and some of those things were fixed in the .0.1 release. Panic has always been very good about fixing their apps. I've owned the last two versions of transmit and unison. I'll end up buying coda when they add SVN and fix some of the nagging issues.
