skEdit as an alternative to Coda
I tried. Well, I gave it a few hours - I think that counts as trying.
After my well documented problems with Coda, I figured I would give skEdit a try today. After about two hours, I’ve decided that skEdit is very similar to Coda. It’s just not as refined or well thought out.
The projects aspect is very similar to Coda, but more confusing. There is no “Upload All” feature that I was able to find. There’s really no good way to tell if you’re working with a local file or a remote file. That scares me. I need an easy way to tell if I’m using a local or a remote file - otherwise I could overwrite some files that I just don’t want to.
The code highlighting was normal, I didn’t really notice any pros or cons when compared to Coda. They both appear to be missing out on the fact that often times I can’t pick HTML, PHP, CSS or Javascript for the file I’m working on. Most times, it’s all four. Why is that so hard?
So, back to Coda. Hopefully, when I finally reformat my computer and get working with Leopard, my freezing issues will stop.
