Soon, Espresso will deliver something better than a caffeine boost. Take the Public Beta for a spin, and get a taste of what's to come! Espresso is not a bunch of apps forcibly smashed together. Instead, we looked at the needs of modern web developers and streamlined their workflow into one focused app. Extremely powerful editing, sleek projects, live preview (we make CSSEdit!), real publishing and extensive synchronization tools. All this, and an amazing extensible core? It's not too good to be true. It's now in public beta."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1230731363.usr18053.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>If you're a web developer and you use a Mac, there's a good chance you've run across MacRabbit's other amazing product, <a href="http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/" target="_blank">CSSEdit</a>, one of the most amazing pieces of software ever written for web developers. I have no reason to believe Espresso will be any less awesome once I can spend a few minutes with it. I held off on buying <a href="http://www.panic.com/coda/" target="_blank">Coda</a> even though I knew I really needed it just because I was waiting to see what these guys cooked up. Now that there's some competition in in the web IDE market, I think I'll be doing some side by side stuff to pick my winner. Anyone out there tried Espresso yet? I'm curious to hear your feedback.</p>
