Firefox in the Tools -> Web Developer -> Inspect feature has three options, 3D which is kind of wierd, HTML and Style. The Style inspector is an outline of every style that affects the element hovered over, inline, files with line numbers, and inheritance. FF 11 also has a live style editor.

Used Coda when it was free. Use Notepad++ and an old version of Dreamweaver. Tried Amaya, Wc3's free editor, and didn't like that at all. Coda was cut and dry and had a great "view in browser" feature.
I personally don't like the split screen editors. Just as easy for me to have MODX open to my CSS file and use CTRL+F to get to where I need. Open the page I'm viewing in a different browser and just hit alt+tab to swap between. That way I get full screen views of both things I'm looking at.

I'm using Notepad++ for the quick changes, and PhpStorm (virtually the same as WebStorm, but then with added php sexyness) for the larger / complete build projects.
Chrome -> Inspect Element is awesome. Real-time editing of CSS (and Content) really can help learning if you don't already know it. My own editing takes place in either Notepad or MODx directly (primarily MODx).

Wow Fuzzy.. ahemm... I mean Gonzo.
Regular old Notepad? Really? And MODX? I can't stand editing/or viewing actually, in either of those! heh (even with the various MODX editor choices available now, none float my boat like Notepad++ does). I like a dark screen, and I seriously depend on the custom color syntax highlighting. Of course Frogabog taught me everything I know, and she's a crummy teacher who doesn't explain stuff well.
You must have those programmer eyes that apparently can differentiate instantly, without the need for syntax highlighting. Mine bleed without it :~}

Both Ace and CodeMirror have quite a lot of choices in "themes". Dark, light, whatever floats your boat. I've also meddled with the styling of CodeMirror; both Ace and CodeMirror depend on classnames and css for their syntax highlighting, as far as I know anyway.
As a matter of fact, I use the dark theme for Ace within MODx.
