I've been using TopStyle lately, and while feature-wise it is pretty
amazing, I've been running into a number of very annoying limitations -
the undo history is very flaky compared to Homesite, using multiple
classes in a tag breaks the syntax highlighting (eg <tag class="classOne
classTwo" />), I can't get the Mozilla preview to work (tried the
ActiveX component they recommend, it crashed the app), and I'm pretty
sure it has a nasty memory leak in it somewhere. If I leave it up and
running for too long, my computer slows down to a crawl. Still, it is an
*amazing* product for the work of one guy. I'm torn between continuing
to use TopStyle or going back to Homesite - I love HomeSite's "select
full tag" and "collapse tag" functionality, even if the "collapse tag"
function is imperfect (it causes weird scrolling behavior). Perhaps the
next version of TopStyle will offer fixes for some of this stuff.
