Coda, the new all-in-one web development tool from Panic is truly a great app. It has tons of useful web development features within reach: text editor (complete with optional fancy CSS editor, syntax highlighting and code completion, and more), FTP client, live preview, terminal and code references (books) all wrapped up into one very slick, very Mac UI.

Despite all these good things, I feel that version control is sorely lacking. Users of TextMate, or other tools with version control integration (Eclipse, etc.), will find Coda's lack of version control a slight setback. Of course, command line access to version control is still possible, and power users won't mind. But, if Coda were to have support for this built right in, I think there are a lot of folks that wouldn't mind that, either.
