I use Espresso at the moment, but still find myself using Dreamweaver for editing smaller projects, specifically because I can click on the preview and the code jumps to the relevant place. I did try Coda before Espresso and found it a bit awkward. I probably didn’t give it a chance and the things you have said about it make me think that I need to try it out again.

I use Susy (sass/compass) grids in my projects (right now I’m playing around with a new sass based layout system called Salsa).
What I wanted to say is that I don’t see the point in using grids with different width columns. They make sense if you define every column of your content as one column of your grid system (e.g. if you have the main content and two sidebars then you use a 3 column layout with asymmetric grids).

Something that might work on radio (I mean podcast) regarding a Top Gear style feature is the ‘Cool Wall’ applied to web sites or design/dev techniques? Maybe you could create an interactive cool wall on the site – but that’s probably overkill ;-)

Paul, You can do code collapsing in Coda. You click on the colored bar to the left of the line number in the code and it will collapse the children code under it. Works in both HTML and CSS (and others I am sure).

How do you get the rrs feeds from pocket to soundgecko. when I try http://getpocket.com/users/USERNAME/feed/all it sayis that it does not point to rss feeds. I liked the logic behind it so I wanted to try it.
Thanks

This was an interesting one, especially the discussion about Coda vs. Espresso vs. Dreamweaver. Years ago I used to use Dreamweaver – I used to use it when it was a Macromedia product, and also Adobe GoLive. Then I got into strict hand coding and chose BBEdit, and then found CSSEdit for CSS editing (this later became Espresso, but I still think CSSEdit as a standalone app is better). The problem for me with Dreamweaver was the amount of bloat, features I didn’t use. I find it much easier to edit with BBEdit and CSSEdit – and the live preview/edit feature in CSSEdit with X-Rays is invaluable.
