Coffee Cup HTML Editor and Serif WebPlus are two different beasts... the latter is a full-blown WYSIWYG, try doing anything with the code that it generates, WebPlus would be better described as a code generating program, it doesn't really do code. I teach web design with it and "Yes, kids love it!" but if you want to play with the code, HTML Editor, as a piece of software for writing code, is the best value for money out there by a bus ride in my opinion.
The new HTML Editor does seem quicker to me, roll on the full release so that I can get rid of that pesky orange banner!
Yes you are correct Woody .. however until this point i have not yet the need to edit the code, it has done ok for me thus far .. but after saying this there are ways to get around these small problems ... in the past I normally use HTML Pro and sometimes CoffeeCup HTML Editor if i need to do code but that has been a long time ago .... CoffeeCup has got a good fair share of my support and i am still buying their products today .. i just like to have options in my life .. i use what program lets me get the job done and then move on to something new.
