It is great if you need a good-looking intuitive HTML+CSS editor and it supports PHP okay for things like WordPress theme development, but it isn't really an IDE for programming. It lacks a lot of the most important features you listed for PHPDesigner. After trying everything I've settled on NetBeans for mac. It's annoying that its Java-based and not really native but at the same time they have made an effort to seem natural in OSX (darker grey theme) and it looks a hell of a lot more native than Eclipse (which feels like linux/windows). I wish there was a real IDE that looked as good as Coda but IMHO there isn't for Mac, so we're stuck with the cross-platform Java monsters like NetBeans and Eclipse.
