CSSEdit 2.5 brings tabs, X-ray Inspector and more
MacRabbit has released CSSEdit 2.5, a significant update to their fantastic CSS editing and manipulating application. As if CSSEdit 2.0 didn't bring enough cool features, v2.5 is almost like sneaking a peek at your v3.0 birthday presents that are stashed away in your parent's closet the day before your party. There is a list of what's new on the MacRabbit's blog.
Quite the update, but a free one for registered owners of v2.x. Users of 1.x can upgrade for $14.95 instead of CSSEdit's regular price of $29.95, and of course a demo is available from MacRabbit.

What does this have that something like Dreamweaver can't do?

Ease of use!
Dreamweaver sucks at CSS handling - you get no overall feel. I also prefer any text-editing software in front of Dreamweaver anytime, just because it is bulky and you loose control of your design.
CSSEdit only handles CSS files, but it's fast, pretty and has code auto-complete. And if you're not good at hacking away yourself, CSSEdit can generate code for you with it's simple wizard or the nice palettes in the sidebar.
Too bad I have problmes getting this darned PayPal to work...

It is just a CSS Editor - no HTML, site management, etc, but it works really well... I love it.

Awesome, now I just need a HTML editor that works the same way... only thing that comes close is skedit, but he rarely updates that.
Awesome work Macrabbit, def purchasing this one today.

#1: I'll echo what others have already answered - CSSEdit is fantastic at handling CSS, and features like being able to view a page's CSS live and right on top of your browser are stellar.
Let's also not forget a significantly cheaper price; CSSEdit is $30, Dreamweaver is $400.

But does CSSEdit do something Web-Developer Toolbar and Firebug extensions for Firefox combined don't do for free?

#6: Yes. It doesn't suck.
If you think Firefox is in any way a decent Mac application, please kill yourself.

I LOVE this program! Thanks for letting me know about the update, finally tabs! By far the best CSS program I've had a chance to use.

I had the honor of doing some Kaboomtesting (that's Betatesting in bunnylanguage) for Macrabbit. I use the application at least 8 hours a day and it's a timesaver! I'm always working with 3 screens open: CSSEdit editor, CSSEdit preview and TextMate. Whenever I save a file in TextMate, CSSEdit updates it preview window. It's a must-use app for any webdesigner...
