The long awaited Espresso 2 is finally available in a beta release. Here’s the announcement: http://macrabbit.com/blog/espresso-goes-kaboom/. CSSEdit, probably the best stand-alone CSS editing app has been rolled into Espresso—no more having to switch between apps when switching between editing HTML and CSS.

Wow, I thought the creator had given up on the project. Whilst I loved the promise Espresso 1 showed, I found it had too many issues to make me switch from Coda. I'm curious though, besides a rewrite of the program and integration of CSSEdit, what's actually new?

Color me skeptical. Progress on this app has been embarrassing. If you want to keep up with Textmate (which seems all but dead), you have to do a little bit better than this.

We can actually download and run a beta of Espresso 2—very different from the mythical TextMate 2. MacRabbit appears to be ready for Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”—TextMate, not so much.

Its a ton of little things that add up, mostly speed though. For example, a project-wide search in Sublime doesn't block the UI thread, Cmd + T works like a dream (much better than TM), etc.
The list goes on and on, its just much more well executed than TM.

Thanks for the reply. I can agree on the cmd-t thing. I'm not tied to TM but I do like the details it implements and it's usually not slow for me (granted, I can see the problem for some cases). I have been watching Vico pretty closely though and it's top of the candidates for me right now.
Sublime 2 looks nice but I couldn't get passed all the quirky settings I had to go through (in different places too) to get anything close to what I wanted. I'm still looking for more good reasons to invest the time to set it up is all.
