That “save” button on the server settings annoys the hell out of me too.

I’ve been a Coda user from day one and I also got Espresso via MacHeist. Sadly, I’ve found Espresso virtually useless despite being very promising in many ways. Its CSS editor is nice, of course, but I have CSSEdit, which has the virtue of not having Espresso’s other non-functional features. FTP access remains twitchy (and I don’t know how many times I’ve typed in access details and then lost them because I forgot to click the save widget), while there’s zero support for obvious use cases like local hosting (there’s simply no way to convince Espresso to preview a file via MAMP, say). And finally Espresso’s autocomplete is horribly broken.

Espresso has taken a very clever approach to embracing existing defacto standards (it can use TextMate’s language bundles, for example). But somehow it just fails to be useful because every single thing it does seems not to work quite right — in pretty much exactly the way Coda does work right.
