I agree that its ALOT easier to use, but at least WOBuilder gave you
the possibility to take a look at how the GUI would look like right
then and there...I'm not sure if Component Editor can do that.
Better to use a browser that can do CSS and JS properly and not give
some messy, hacked up view of what might be.

C2O Rocks! Try doing that with WOBuilder!

I usually find that WO developers who initially feel uncomfortable
with Component Editor usually feel that way because
1) they were uncomfortable with raw HTML editing to begin with, and/
or,
2) they are trying to edit their *old* WOBuilder barely-human-
readable ugly HTML templates which look really *horrible* when first
viewed with the naked eye, having been hidden behind WOBuilder GUI
Editor Interface for so many years :-)
So the first thing you should do when you open an old template from
WOBuilder is do Command-Shift-F for an instant hierarchal structured
layout. As you work with your old templates, doing a Cmd-2 R to
refactor the names of your wo elements can make your WOComponents
easier to work with too.
So, just give it a go for a few weeks and see how it works out. It
has auto-completion, re-factoring support, active component
structure in the Outline view, and Command-Shift-F instant cleanup
and formatting.
You can double-click a tag to auto -select the start/end tags and
all its wrapped contents, you can right-click Unwrap or Wrap
that ... there is a lot of functionality in Component Editor what
will make you far faster once you get up the short learning curve.
Search the wiki for docs on keyboard shortcuts, etc. and feel free
to enhance those if you wish.
It is not a pure GUI editor in the style of Interface Builder, but
it certainly is a kick-butt WOComponent Editor that does not hide
the garbage HTML produced by the old WOBuilder.
So, go on, try to learn the keyboard commands and features and use
it for a few weeks .... and don't forget, use Cmd-Shift-F on those
old clunky WOBuilder component templates as you come across them .....
Cheers, Kieran

Hi all,
My coworkers and I are wondering what everybody is using as a
substitute for WOBuilder now that it is gone in WO 5.4. The
graphical configuration within eclipse, we find, its
horrible...anyone got anything else they're using, freeware or not?
Your responses are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mersida
