VIM does the same for free. $99 saved is $99 earned.

You're right, but then I could also argue that any of these programs can be replaced by installing a linux port via fink and a combination of shell scripts.

My point was mainly comparing Coda to other GUI text editors for the mac. It has other useful features such as one-window editing, integrated terminal, ability to preview CSS/HTML changes side by side with code, etc.

Thanks! I was looking for a free alternative to Coda that did editing over sftp just yesterday!

agreed. but many will use more than $99 worth of their time to figure out how to use it. If you've already paid the price for learning VIM, its an easy choice.
