- Few
programming chores are purer than writing JavaScript, HTML, and CSS in
three rectangles in your browser, then watching it run in a
fourth. The tool builds "fiddles," which are smaller blocks of
code that might work best as embedded frames. The code can easily
call APIs, but you won't build any APIs with it. That would be missing
the point. The developers clearly want to encourage more snippets and
code that can form the building blocks for Web pages.

- Not perfect, but better than most editors.
Dreamweaver is better, but much much more expensive.
- No setting to automatically open files in split screen
(HTML/WYSIWYG) by default. Necessary to click on the split-screen tab.
- No shortcut or menu button to switch between screens.
- The
coding windows open either on a blank line (<br> with no
surrounding code) or at the very end of the file. WTF? Should
open at the same place as in the WYSIWYG window.
- No
shortcut to open a browser webpage in Kompozer? - (Note: This shortcut
is a setting in the browser, not the editor.)?
- Right-click does some strange things, like highlight the
whole line.
- Editor does lots of strange things. Illogical and
frustrating.

Pinegrow html editor and wow Its like Dreamweaver on Steroids, so quick
so responsive virtually no lag, buttery smooth when editing."
- "Pinegrow is decent for some things but it lacks S/FTP, code
editing (code hints, auto completion, linting, Emmet), and the robust
file management features of Dreamweaver."

Weebly
- However, you will need either the Starter package or the
Pro package. You need one of these upgrades if you want to use your
own domain name, have a slideshow in the header, have searching on
your site, remove the advertising link to Weebly, etc.
- There are no "breadcrumbs" to show where you you are in the
site structure. Breadcrumbs is not an option.
- There
is no way to have a menu item link to an existing page in the site
(unless you pay to upgrade and use your own domain name). Menu
items are just pages. However, buttons can link to an existing
page in the site.
- Statistics are available for only one month. After that
your site traffic history is gone.
- It
is easy to set up and edit the sites. It is easy to modify
themes. It is possible to download the site as a zip.
However, it is rather basic in its functionality.
- Support - Customer Service & Tech Support
- Good website editor. Terrible customer
service. Terrible tech support.
- Weebly
Help - M-F 11h-20h EST - You will have to be VERY patient if you really
really want support. The problem may be urgent for you, but it
may take 3 or 4 or 5 or more days to get a response from Weebly Tech
Support. How patient are you?
