Re: WYSIWYG editor coming soon.

I've been using Quanta for around a year and love it. When testing pages in Windows I use UltraEdit. I think people asking for WYSIWYG features in Quanta are making a category mistake.

I see Dreamweaver as the kind of tool a graphic designer might use but not something a person interested in keeping up with W3C standards, studying browser quirks &etc. might feel the need of.

I see Quanta as a tool that suits the latter kind of developer - it adds convenience to code writing for the person who enjoys both mastering it and increasing their technical vocabulary. If a person views HTML and related languages as an unenjoyable burden Dreaweaver would be more likely be their tool of choice. For instance; IMHO it's well worth the time learning Javascript than have Dreaweaver spit out dozens of lines of convoluted code to perform a simple image swap that is best performed with three lines or so of code.

WYSIWYG features would just get in the way if introduced into Quanta.

Thanks to all who developed Quanta - something I've used nearly daily of late. I really appreciate it.
