The long awaited Espresso 2 is finally available in a beta release. Here’s the announcement: http://macrabbit.com/blog/espresso-goes-kaboom/. CSSEdit, probably the best stand-alone CSS editing app has been rolled into Espresso—no more having to switch between apps when switching between editing HTML and CSS.

Wow, I thought the creator had given up on the project. Whilst I loved the promise Espresso 1 showed, I found it had too many issues to make me switch from Coda. I'm curious though, besides a rewrite of the program and integration of CSSEdit, what's actually new?

There’s a pretty good summary on one of the developer’s blog: http://beckism.com/2011/06/espresso-2-pre-release/

That's a very generous upgrade policy. It's nice to see developers look out for their existing customers.

Color me skeptical. Progress on this app has been embarrassing. If you want to keep up with Textmate (which seems all but dead), you have to do a little bit better than this.

We can actually download and run a beta of Espresso 2—very different from the mythical TextMate 2. MacRabbit appears to be ready for Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”—TextMate, not so much.

Sublime Edit should be the new "standard" to keep up with (not Textmate, that's turned into a joke)
