Impressive: creating complex page layout easily - better than any other program Ive used. The program does some wonderful things, but in this new era of dumbed down software, experienced users get shut out.
The interface is clunky. Many of the icons make no sense, and some unrelated things are grouped together under one icon.
Awful is awful only if you know html and css and want to customize beyond whats built-in. A few examples Ive found with only one hour of using the program:
1. Like many web authoring softwares, the HTML and CSS are bloated. There is no way to have named styles, so if you have 10 occurrences of the same styled text, you get 10 CSS definitions.
2. For colors, you can only use their predefined (un subtle) colors
3. It sends all fonts through Google web fonts and defaults to a font I never heard of. If you want Verdana or something else, happy scrolling.
4. Vertical align - only top and bottom, not center.
5. iOS problem - because there is no file system, all the pictures in Photos are unnamed. When using a graphic from there, its imported as image1, image2, etc. Im wondering if when published, it uploads multiple copies of the same image if you use it more than once.
The worst problem though is if you want to edit the document on your Mac, you have to either buy their Mac software or display the source code, copy it and paste it into a text base program. Im going to continue playing with the software because it is so powerful, but it wish it had a little more.
