Top Rated Espresso Alternatives
When it works, it's brilliant. If you work with other peoples code, having something that can pinpoint where a specific style is created in a document makes adjustments quick and painless. I've used it for years with great success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ownership changes... they change things. It's not necessarily a bad thing, the new owner is good, but the release cadence for new features/bug fixes has slowed to a crawl. I don't use the software every day, so its not a major drawback for me, but I do find it discouraging that when a usability bug is pointed out, it can take months for it to be resolved.

The UI is clean and easy to use. There is the ability to customise the appearance of your editor window as well as install helper scripts to enhance productivity. This editor isn't the most complex tool I've used to build sites however that's where it's beauty lies. I'm not developing day-to-day, so wouldn't classify myself as a power user. The app is stable, reliable and easy to use for my needs. There are some really useful features built in, one for instance being auto-compiling of SCSS/LESS files which elevate this tool above others I have tried in the past.

There's nothing I'd really complain about considering the one-time price tag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is an amazing solution to build or edit a website for a small business or your own side gig. Relatively easy to learn how to use. The design is smooth, which is rare for web developer tools - if you worked in WordPress you know what I mean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As any ready to use solution, Espresso lacks detail customization tools, but honestly, I didn't expect that anyhow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The autocomplete feature is a time saver for advanced users and teacher for novices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The live view is sometime difficult to work with certain file types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
well made css editor with less/scss pre processor, nice UI. It was a nice software until around 2018. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
software becomes increasingly buggy and slow since 2018, no response from current owner to any question or bug report, updates seem not to address any problems which had been reported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We can use manifest.xml to get the element and the wide numbers of locators and their combinations are awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are always required to have development code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Your ability to extract and edit live editing style sheets is the great reason why I and my company use this product. Features like fragments are really useful, its interface is nice and clean. I like how it shows the files within the projects. It is very light and fast, it is a good software for Mac, it clearly shows a lot of advantage over other software on Mac, but in general I can say that it did the job when I use it, being one of my tools to maintain my websites. The great all-in-one solution for everything related to coding and FTP is excellent with Espresso. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like it to be easier to incorporate and that could be installed in multiple coding languages, in addition the synchronization is a bit cumbersome, since the changes are not tracked as you update the files, on the other hand your updates have become expensive and somewhat complicated and sometimes has difficulty opening compressed Javascript files.
