Re: Review: Bluefish & CoffeeCup HTML Editors
by Brian McKendrick on Wednesday June 15, 2005 @ 12:51 PM
I have to agree. I was pretty unfamiliar with this dog of a project until this morning - I ran into some bloggings about Nvu. Hey, an open-source HTML "IDE" - this project is a larf. I didn't even try to do anything fancy like scripting, just openened a pure HTML page - it wouldn't let me do anything from the HTML source view because it couldn't understand uppercase tags ( shoot me - I like uppercase tag elements ). Then, I switched from source view to preview - Nvu reformatted my entire page AND saved it to disk overwriting my existing file without a so much as a prompt. Not to mention it altered the CSS in my page - get this - to syntactically INVALID CSS.

It looks like the ass clowns behind Nvu even have some full time developers getting paid by Linspire - if so, what a bunch maroons ...

It's a damn shame too - something to fill that void has been a long time coming.
