Cabel Sasser Talk on Coda

Caught this on Daring Fireball while I was on vacation, but there's a great video on Panic Software's Cabel Sasser delivering a presentation on the development of Coda, their web editor.



While I think some of Panic's software are a little overrated (Transmit and Unison), I do like Coda... a lot. It's one of the better web editors I've used, and I don't think its price tag is too expensive. As a hand coder, I find that it is a very well rounded tool that covers a lot of the functionality that I need when writing HTML/PHP.



An interesting surprise in the presentation was that Panic originally planned to have an image editor built-into the tool as well. Talk about kitchen sink! If you can get past the ass-kissing moderator, it's a real treat to hear one of the leading independent Mac developers talk about the product development process.

Now if only Panic could do selection indents (what is with Mac apps that you can't select multiple lines of text and hit tab or shift-tab to indent/outdent?), I'd be a very happy man.
