CSS-Edit style css editing would be amazing

Finding a replacement for CSSedit would be phenomenal (Espresso never came close!), but I assume that's outside the scope of a text editor - the strengths of CSSedit aren't just in how easy it was to see updates live (even on external sites) and the Xray features, but the UI was designed for very fast visual editing of CSS parameters. Sure, I could type everything, but it's faster to press up and down arrows in a text box to interactively change a margin! Unfortunately, the application was killed off a while ago, and was never updated for CSS3.

If it fits into the development plan for Chocolat, I'd be supremely impressed (heck, I'd be demanding all my friends buy it!)...

...but right now, for even a generic code editor, there are still major features missing in Chocolate. Especially file diff - TextWrangler is free and more robust/usable for what I typically need on a day-to-day basis (open files, edit, compare older version, merge, etc...I rarely need "projects", I just need "what files do I currently have open").
