The Lone Coda Disliker

Am I the only one who don’t like Coda?

I just realized why I don’t like it, too: It’s a Windows application.

You’re cornered into a single window, preferably in fullscreen, navigating your data not by wonderfully spatial windows, but by small, almost identical small evil creatures called ’tabs’.

And instead of presenting data in separate windows, you’re supposed to *switch modes* on these tabs, back and forth, back and forth; either that, or using the other unforgivingly evil Windows UI metaphor: the split pane. Suddenly you have windows again, but they’re deprived of their ability to obscure each other, instead opting for scrolling back and forth, back and forth to see your relevant areas.

Also, its CSS editor sucks badly, at least compared to that app which surely God himself must have sent down to earth.
