I understand that the developer for MarsEdit is a one man shop and we have to give him a break in this regard of price, but as far as features go, he should be able to exceed MS Live Writer. At the end of the day, if he could just surpass the feature limitation I think we could justify the cost.
Dev: have you considered a lower price for a limited time until you've surpassed the feature set of Live Writer?

I really wish MacUpdate had an edit option for these posts.

I like how the general feel of the app is nimble, yet there's access to all of the under-the-hood kinds of things, too.

Just want to add that MarsEdit has been a revolutionary aid to my blogging and I can hardly imagine writing blogs without it. The program has paid for itself 100 times over in terms of time and effort saved.
10 stars, if that were possible.

So, I'd been creating my WordPress posts in my browser for a few weeks (having just started out) and it's pretty slow and clunky. And then I happened to see someplace on the web mention MarsEdit...I think it was Daring Fireball. So, I downloaded it and gave it a try.
OMIGOD, this program is *heaven* after editing in my browser, or editing in an external text editor and then pasting into the browser.
The program is so easy to use and has so many features that speed up post creation that I was able to create a new post in about 1/2 the time it took me before -- and this on my very first time using MarsEdit.
I love the preview mode, I love that I can insert images and see how they work (and the images are loaded to WordPress at the same time), I love that I can now do all kinds of HTML markup of my text with simple pull-down menus and no have to remember them or look them up, I love that I can save drafts and store them locally, and send my drafts to drafts to WordPress as either a post or draft. I love the little bookmarklet that allows me to grab anything in my browser and send it to MarsEdit to turn it into a post....I could go on and on, as you can tell.
So, this program is TOTALLY worth the $30 I just paid for it...heck, it just paid for itself in the first half hour of use. In my work as a freelancer, time is money, and this program is literally going to save me hundreds of dollars a week in time saved.
After editing in my posts in my browser or external text editors, I feel with this program that I just left the 1990s and entered the 21st century. It's that good. If I could give this program 10 stars, I would. I'm just blown away by how much time it's already saved me and will save me in the months ahead. Try it, buy it. I don't think you'll regret it if you spend any time at all creating posts for your blogs. Btw, did I say I love this program? :)
