Well that's two votes for Coda, I should definitely give it a go. I've just this second installed Aptana too (for an AIR project that I've been asked to look at).

I like to keep things as simple as minimal as possible too, so if MAMP and Coda works for you, I suspect it might for me too. Thanks.

Another vote for Coda & MAMP. Coda is great to have text editing, browser preview, SVN, file transfer and reference documentation all in a single polished application.

Have found that MAMP is so much easier to setup and manage than trying to struggle with changing the inbuilt OS X services into a apache/php/mysql development environment.

I also use Coda, however i have found XAMPP to be more robust and more up-to-date than MAMP.

Other things i use:

Gimp and Seashore (for graphics) Transmit (for FTP/SFTP) Terminal

I also use Coda with PHP & Web Toolkit plugin, Transmit, Sequel Pro, DTerm (grep for fast search through files) and Xcode for iOS development
