*Advantage Craft* for its simpler, more information-carrying design.

Craft has folders; clicking on a folder in the sidebar it gives you document previews for the folder's contents. Folders are represented by icons (by default simple one-color icons); documents are not. Documents are represented by tiny previews, giving a rough sense of what the document contains.

Part II of Craft vs. Coda design choices. With Coda, there are no folders. In the sidebar, pages (documents) are represented by multi-color icons the user may select; pages can be organized hierarchically.

Look at how much cleaner the Craft experience is. Also, general nav lesson here: on any given page, local navigation is more important than global navigation, because it’s directly relevant to the user’s context.

Coda has a function similar to Craft TOC (outline). However, Coda outline view is off by default and when enabled, it populates to the right, persisting the "global navigation" on the left.

Note this is a drill-down view: they haven't carried forward the "global navigation" for the space.
