	Dec 26 2008	CHAOTICPIXEL An absolute must have, but realize that it is not a competitor of CSSedit or any other CSS writing app. This is meant for the polishing stage of web design. It helps with CSS rules, drilling down to what line of code is causing the problems and experimentation. I do a lot of redesign, so I am not worried about writing CSS from the ground up. I usually have to modify someone else's work. And since all programmers don't code in the same fashion, it can take hours of work to figure out how some people layout the styles. Xyle scope gets right down to the lines of code that I need to modify to change HTML elements, easily, effectively and efficiently. I use this app every damn day! (Version 1.2.3)		+4

	Sep 29 2005	ANONYMOUS Truly phenomenal. While there have been ways to kluge together similar info, nothing has ever put it all together so quickly and easily. A very well thought-out and elegant interface, better than on many apps costing several times as much. This is the kind of development I love to see on the Mac! I registered mine already -- these folks deserve or support. (Version 1.1.4)		0

	Sep 6 2005	NCIANCA This is a useful app if you have to do any work with CSS. While there are some tools in Safari and Firefox that can provide similar information, as well as some bookmarklet javascript/css hacks, this is the best implementation I've seen. I registered it after about 10 minutes of use. (Version 1.1)		0

	Jun 15 2005	PETER DANCKWERTS This application is just so slick. I used it on one of my own sites and it helped me visualise the structure (which I had forgotten and which would have been less clear from the xhtml and css files). (Version 1.0.1)		0

	Jun 1 2005	JEROME sexy and fine app, does what it says very well and with elegance. i'd be curious if it could provide a way to add new attributes to CSS styles (or i don't know how) beyond just tweaking & altering existing. But it's incredibly well done and really awesome, showing it to other web developers at my job to show how nice it is :) (Version 1.0.1)		0

	May 23 2005	MINIMALDESIGN.NET A very well implemented idea. You can get similar functionality w/ Firefox developer plug in + "show DOM tree" from Safari debug menu, but this is far more elegant and pleasant to look at, which is a very important factor for this type of app I think. This app is well thought out and just "feels right." The reason why it doesn't get 5 stars is because of some strange rendering bug associated with the scroll bar in the 2nd from top right panel. When scrolling up/down the graphic becomes all garbled and I have to resize the panel to "reset" the display to normal. It doesn't happen all the time though so I couldn't troubleshoot it... It could be a "tiger issue" too - not sure... I'm not sure if I actually really need this app though... But I can see how it would be a grate learning tool for CSS beginners. If a CSS editor was implemented as tastefully as what's in there already, then I'd probably buy it in the blink of an eye ;) (Version 1.0)		0

	May 18 2005	FREDB As it's a bit new, I don't know if and how I will use it but this is a really good and well done idea. (Version 1.0)		0
