This is slightly ridiculous. \u00a0When you arrow key the cursor over a round bracket &quot;(&quot; in javascript Coda will make a little radar blip on the matching cursor. \u00a0Which is nice. \u00a0But when you click on the bracket it doesn&#039;t do the same thing. \u00a0And tags don&#039;t do anything. \u00a0When you are closing 6 &lt;\/div&gt; in a row, is gets super confusing. \u00a0The computer is great at matching tags, why in the world is this not an option?\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>At first use, Coda 2 is a very nice IDE for creating web pages. \u00a0I will use it more and post a more complete review soon. \u00a0In the mean time, if you want to try it out, it is <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=jYjLE9HC3jU&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fcoda-2%252Fid499340368%253Fmt%253D12%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30\">$100 dollars on the Mac App store<\/a>.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p \/><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'><a href=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/screen_shot_2012-05-25_at_9-59.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Screen_shot_2012-05-25_at_9\" height=\"251\" src=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/screen_shot_2012-05-25_at_9-59.png?w=300\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/0screen_shot_2012-05-25_at_9-59.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"0screen_shot_2012-05-25_at_9\" height=\"276\" src=\"http:\/\/joshdance.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/0screen_shot_2012-05-25_at_9-59.png?w=300\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coda 2 came out yesterday and I bought it. \u00a0It is made by Panic software and it is a really nice program.
