I like editize. It is clean and works well. While I'm usually against using JAVA for certain apps; for management and a CMS entry point it works well.
Reasons why I will -not- be using editize:
1. Price - $127.00 is excessive. I could deal with $300.00 for a bulk license of lets say, 50 copies. That would be acceptable, but $127.00 for one? I'll stick with the other lesser expensive options.
2. Markup. I am a markup snob. I loathe difficult to read code, even if it is "dynamically" created. The code created by Editize 2.0 is better than what I first saw, but still quite messy. An example of editize code;
Code:
<ol>
<li>
Tell the client it can't be done.
</li>
<li>
Introduce them to HTML or XML.
</li>
<li>
Seamlessly integrate Editize into their CMS.
</li>
</ol>
What I would -like- to see;
Code:
<ol>
<li>Tell the client it can't be done.</li>
<li>Introduce them to HTML or XML.</li>
<li>Seamlessly integrate Editize into their CMS.</li>
</ol>
or even something like this;
Code:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetaur adipisicing
elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore
magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud
exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo
consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in
voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla
pariatur.</p>
<p>At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos
ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti
atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi
sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in
culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum
et dolorum fuga</p>
Of course, this is just personal preference. I still appreciate a line break between tags, and the tag as part of the content as shown above (tag part of the content, and not on its own individual line)
An option I would love to see would be the ability to reference custom style sheets; Lets say, I created a specific class for any present legalese on whichever site, I would like be able to perhaps highlight the text, select the "legalese" class and have editize produce something like
Code:
<span class="legal">text that was highlighted</span>
