"Much as I love Panic, I’ve never used Coda"
Just stop reading the article after this because whatever is said doesn't matter. If you aren't the audience for Coda and have never used it, then you aren't going to want their updates.
"Although Coda 2 looks like it has some great new features...it still feels like it continues this trend of catering to developers from five years ago."
Who says software (most especially code editors) should appeal to every single kind of developer? Look, it may not fit your work flow, but it sure as hell does mine and all of my coworkers. I know I'm not alone on this either.
Steven Frank of Panic, responds to Jeff in the comments:
"There’s no way we could be a perfect fit for everyone’s workflow, so we concentrated on what we perceived to be the most common workflows, and those that would the most generally adaptable."
