One huge benifit was being able to select elements in the preview pane and generate matching styles - for this site I was creating new CSS for an existing markup, and I found that very helpful.

Here's what I found (compared to CSSEdit) + Design pane preview and the block highlighting + Looks pretty + More properties - Crashed a few times - Slower - Uses separate drawers for each property group: Ugh, too much clicking I am torn... the preview and style highlighting is very nice but what I really wanted was to click on the preview pane and see the styles affecting the element to be highlighted.

I am torn… the preview and style highlighting is very nice but what I really wanted was to click on the preview pane and see the styles affecting the element to be highlighted.

IntelliJ will be aimed at the CSS done by developers, not web design proffesionals - web designers would rather pay a tenth of the price and get a dedicated tool. Oh, and as you'd guess from this website I'm _not_ a web design proffesional :-) Believe me, simple support for CSS syntax highlighting, no-doubt useful, is not enough.
