Coda vs Sublime

When I try to follow the install/using sass video with Coda as my text editor, I'm noticing that the test.css file is being written into, but I can't see the changes unless I re-open the CSS file. Is there something I'm doing wrong with Coda to make these changes more re-time?

The challenge is that I already have Coda. I really don't want to shell out another $70 for yet another text editor. I just want to know if anyone has been able to get Coda to work in real time and how?

Just use Sublime

I find sublime much better but that is personal preference, much better layout but then again I am biased.

Hackerware Windows 10 is Microsoft's solution to user (malware) confabulation, so I rolled over to Mac (2 years and still missing support for Intel i7-3670). Immediately, when Sublime windows is closed, we see big problems starting to surface in El Capitan. Sublime no longer auto-saves on close. On re-open, Sublime opens blanked-out: no last open re-opened, no side bar project or folders, nothing. Sublime support says it's because of Mac memory. Lame excuse from lame app developer. 10.9.4 worked fine. Sublime has to update for Mac 10.11.3. 4 years since the last Sublime update: common sense says use Coda. But does Coda remember what we're working on when we close and then reopen?

Marston, we just adjusted. Sublime Team have finally responded to update requests. Sublime now is even html tag friendly for viewport and standard code writing is suddenly perfect. Improved perfect!

However, Linux-only memory management gaffs Sublime in its neck. Sublime is unable to run projects or pick up where it left off. Sublime is unable to cache state in the Mac environment.

Odd thing that. You'd think a page or so of PHP could include PY state somewhere in some Apple Library. Maybe, coming soon, we hope.
