What many critics don't really understand about Coda is that it's not necessarily trying to compete with the Textmates, Sublime Texts or Vims out there. As I've used it for years, I believe this tool is built with front-end developers in mind who primarily work with HTML and CSS amongst others.

Rather, I'd make the argument that Coda is the replacement for Dreamweaver. They have similar feature sets but Coda is less clunky than Dreamweaver has traditionally been.

Coda could become an amazing development tool if they allowed something like Sublime Text's Package Control and extensibility of the plugins from that type of architecture. When I go to other editors like Sublime Text, sometimes I sorely miss a Coda's code hinting, default file browser and GUI FTP client.
