I don't use Espresso, so no comment there. However, Coda does not provide any support for Haml or Sass that I can find. I've been closely following the Coda forums, as I am a paid user, and it looks as though a 2.0 version is forthcoming.
Who knows, perhaps that'll be included For now, since you're not using Ruby on Rails, I might suggest TextMate It doesn't do Haml or Sass "right out of the box", but it can be configured to do so using "Bundles Installing HAML bundle for TextMate is a primer on how to setup TextMate for Haml/Sass, and I suspect there are others That said, for roughly the cost of TextMate you can purchase RubyMine ($69), which does both Haml (via RubyGem) and Sass (via Plugin), and can also handle running Sass --watch internally. I know you're not using Ruby, so maybe the idea of using a tool made primarily for Ruby doesn't appeal, but it does work in both the Haml and Sass environments very nicely The third option would be BBEdit which can also handle both Haml and Sass. Some information on the plugin for BBEdit is in BBEdit-Codeless-Language-Module-for-HAML-SASS I hope this helps P.S.: I'm a paid user on all the platforms I mentioned.
While I use RubyMine as my primary tool, I find that TextMate still gets a lot of use when I'm programming and need a quick, friendly window to examine code in. I used to use BBEdit when I needed to do complex regular expression-style search and replacements, but then I discovered how to do the same thing in TextMate, so BBEdit is sort of collecting dust. Coda?
It looks pretty, but doesn't get the job done so much any more (though Panic's Transmit is still very much a core application).

Wow thanks, that answer will help a lot. I already had textmate, but haven't used it in a while, in favor of editors more web-design-oriented, like Coda, which feature previews and such. However, I'm gonna try out each of the three solutions you mentioned, and see which one has the easiest workflow.

OK, for anyone else looking for an answer to this, I decided to go along with a different solution. I'm using my normal editors, along with 'serve', a Ruby gem that runs a web server using WEBrick, and automatically compiles any files which it detects has changed. This includes HAML, Sass, Slim, Markdown, etc.Files.
I'm going to be using either Coda's live preview, or the minimalist browser called Playground, which eliminates the need to press refresh when the local file it is displaying changes. This workflow is nice for now, although it doesn't have any built-in method to build the entire site into a static site when I'm done and want to deploy. This is a feature in middleman, but middleman still refuses to run because a dependency of it, thin, refuses to work on 64 bits.
I might have to manually compile all the files using the terminal command, and hope the Haml interpreter can handle combining template files with each file, which I seriously doubt at this stage. This limitation and thus the continued dependence on 'serve' might force me to consider one of the other applications out there, listed on the page Haml Sucks for Content.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
