Your Chocolat app is really damn good! Congrats! I love it very much. The Web Preview and Documentation support is a big thumbs up.

There's some consideration about your app while testing it. I'm trying not to make them as features request but just thoughts. I hope it'll be helpful.

- Terminal support in the split view. Rails and Node people needs them. While the window is open as a project. Terminal should jump to that project's folder automatically.
- You need a new app name and logo. Chocolat is not related to anything about Programming and its hard to spell for none native english speaker. And there's no reason to cut the letter "e". How about Cocoder. There's Cocoa and Code in it. Your app is going to be a great one and you should consider to have a better branding. Find someone who is good at this stuff and make it better. Go to Dribbble and let them help you to make a good icon.
- The "+" icon besides full-screen icon is not entirely necessary. You can put the "Add" button in the tab bar. Just like Chrome and Safari And Firefox. Provide an option like "Always display Tab Bar". I think keeping your app looks like as the other make it more professional.

TextMate 2 is coming and there's little time to getting things done. I hope you can make a big achievement.
