I started using it shortly after I outgrew Coda. I went to Textmate at first, but it was around the time that Textmate seemed totally dead. Its interface reeked of 2004 but Chocolat was quite modern. I liked it a lot but I was eventually lured away by Sublime's ecosystem. Then I got sick of dealing with JSON for my settings and checked out Atom. But I find that I'm not really taking all those rich ecosystems that Sublime and Atom offer. It's probably time for me to take another look at Chocolat as well.
