Code editor

At the moment my work includes a lot of PHP coding. And it is much much easier to code when you have a good editor. I have used TextWrangler for all my coding purposes. It is a good editor and what I like a lot is its capability to open and save files directly from SSH server, so there is no need to have local copies and then synchronize modifications to the server.
Today I found a new editor, Coda, which is a new editor. I have only time to test it very briefly but it seems to be just what I need. It can also open files directly from server. And it has very nice UI, a lot of integrated functionalities like CSS-editor, PHP-manual and lots more. It really seems to be all in one package.
Maybe the most useful feature compared to TextWrangler is that Coda can show function listing from PHP-file. So it is easy to jump directly to correct function to edit just clicking the name of function. TextWrangler missed this feature and I have actually spent a few moments to find a good editor having this small but useful feature.
The only bad thing about Coda is that is is not freeware. But at this time, it seems to be a program that is worth of buying.

  1. Um… TextWrangler has a function menu for all supported languages. Including PHP. :-)
