The margin, padding and positioning indicators allow you to discover the subtleties of how elements interact with each other

The brand new X-ray Inspector shows you what styles apply to the web page. Add Browser Integration Bookmarklets, Extraction and Overriding, and you have the perfect tool to check out how the CSS Masters work. Exploring your favorite sites is now delightfully easy
Analyze that!

Don't work blind
Visual cues make recognizing your styles much easier. You will instantly see a red style, but it'll take some more time to find '.my .obscure #elementname .that .meansred'. CSSEdit even shows the correct fonts for your styles.
Filter
Even when everything is categorized, you'll still have an elusive style once in a while. No problem: a few words into the Search field and irrelevant styles are filtered out

The sensible choice
Writing CSS code is quite repetitive. That's why the intelligent CodeSense makes life so much easier. Whenever you type something, you'll get a list with your options. Why intelligent?

Spacing and beyond
CSSEdit automatically adds brackets, (semi-)colons and appropriate spacing for you. If you encounter a style sheet from someone who didn't have that luxury, you can always do a Re-Indent to apply your spacing settings
