We (okay, at least myself) love LESS. We also love Coda. Unfortunately the only plug-in widely adopted for Coda that tunnels your LESS code and $ lessc is not immaculate. e.g., the plug-in’s window is immensely HUGE on a 13.3” MacBook(Pro), and compiled .css files are not immediately marked for publishing.
Solutions exist to both undesirable situations. It happens that Coda allows you to edit a file with any other external application of your choice, and it is possible to “Edit [the .css file] with Safari” so that every time the file gets updated by the LESS plug-in, Coda marks it for publishing.
With help of the excellent Inject F-Script into Application service (before this service we have to manually launch gdb for this on OS X 10.6), the plug-in’s window could also be modified so that the badge no longer shows. The window could be completely reconstructed to the extent of one’s imagination. This workflow is never efficient without Afloat — activate the plug-in and float its window atop other stuff to see immediately when lessc has done its work.

Shameless plug: monoSnippets.less is my anecdotal & experimental attempt at making the LESS experience a bit more complete. @import the file in your LESS code and enjoy (e.g., a unified .borderRadius(4px); — it even comes with a default).
