But I use Fireworks instead Photoshop (and FW is about 700 U$ more cheaper than PS). FW is perfect for design layouts for web, fast layers, fast path tools, slices, and much more. Obvious that you can make site with PS.. but on the same way that you can edit photos with FW. And I use another extension for Firefox called "Measure It", its very usefull.

With any tool that tries to incorporate multiple features, like Coda, it's likely that one of the features will lack in some capacity. For me, Coda has the perfect balance of features and usability. Not too many features and not too few. Plus, you really can't really beat the price point. I know what you mean about tools being familiar.

Perhaps it's partially due to the fact that I've been using CSSEdit for a while and that it has become a familiar tool. Coda's main shortcoming on the FTP side is lack of support for folder shortcuts/bookmarks. I frequently use the sidebar in Transmit for convenient access to both local and server folders and miss having this functionality on Coda. Hopefully this will be beefed up a bit in a future release. I would think it would be fairly trivial as Coda and Transmit come from the same developers. I find the CSSEdit interface a bit more intuitive and convenient.

I'm a big fan of Coda as well, but still find myself launching CSSEdit when making changes to style sheets. I also find the FTP capabilities built into Coda to be a bit limited in some cases and still regularly use the Transmit FTP software. I would add CSSEdit by macrabbit to the list.
