"Lightweight & Functional Code Editor"

4/5

What do you like best about Espresso?

Lightweight & fast with built in FTP, site & file management. Sync local & server files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Espresso?

SIdebar design is functional but doesn't visually separate content well.

Sync is a little cumbersome, in that changes aren't tracked as you update files, but it's a scanning process where local & server files are compared which can be quite slow and cumbersome for large projects.

Plugins and syntax highlighting extensions do exist as "Sugars" but there aren't very many out there compared to other editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Espresso:

I switched from Espresso to Panic's Coda 2 about two years ago and haven't been inclined to go back. Coda's feature set is much more robust than Espresso while maintaining ease of use. I like Espresso's 'Workspace' sidebar better than Coda's tab system, but it's a minor adjustment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Espresso solving and how is that benefiting you?

Espresso assists primarily for web development and managing many different sites & projects. Built in FTP & sync allow you to easily publish changes to your server, though the sync can be a bit slow for larger sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent tool for coding"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Espresso?

The all in one solution for all things coding and ftp is great about Espresso. At the moment I do not use it as much as I used to, but is was thé tool dor me to maintain my websites.

Just one app to start after booting up the Mac and your are good to go and start working on your projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Espresso?

I can not think of anything. But I do not use it that much anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Espresso:

Place it next to the other options out there and make a choice for yourself.

Consider Espresso especially when you want to have one tool to do a lot of things combined.

FTP, styling and codewriting. And as a nice extra, looking up reference guides.

It all depends on your own personal opinion, but Espresso should be on the shortlist to explore while looking for a new editor in your workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Espresso solving and how is that benefiting you?

No really problem solving here. Espresso just gets work done. It all depends on your own workflow if it fits your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, simple coding all in one spot. "

4/5

What do you like best about Espresso?

My favorite part is having an FTP and text editor all in one. Being able to connect to my website's server easily and navigate to the file I need to update then send it up all in one go is so helpful in my work process. Not to mention the app is very well designed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Espresso?

I wish it was easier to incorporate and install different coding languages, or maybe I'm just naive and haven't figured it out properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Espresso:

Anybody I know who is a web developer are already using Espresso or are currently using Sublime Text, so my list of people to recommend espresso is limited :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Espresso solving and how is that benefiting you?

The FTP and editor being all in one interface greatly improves my work flow and simplifies my tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
