Evan, I'm not the best person to ask that question… seems I prefer the 'less' popular applications. 🙂
Well, I did something very few others are going to do… I bought Sandvox, Rapidweaver, AND Freeway… I'm developing a website with each of them and eventually I may settle on one or just keep doing it the hard way. 🙂
Oh, I'm still using iWeb as well.
After a month of so the quickest, for me, is Sandvox. I also like where they seem to be 'headed'…. though small it's an active community and there seems to be a lot of development both from Sandvox itself and 3rd parties.
Now when I say 'quick' I mean that in two ways: Quick to get anything done but also quick in researching how to do something a little out of the ordinary. The answers seem to come quicker.
RapidWeaver has an add on for everything… very nice, but also very expensive. Not sure how Sandvox will compare in that regard as their 3rd party add ons are still being developed. I do not like the interface of RapidWeaver and it confuses me. When I get something wrong I have to spend a huge amount of time figuring out 'why'.
FreeWay seems the most powerful to me but, (and remember, I'm only referring to me and have no idea how others would perceive it), the learning curve is much higher… and while visually intuitive the menu structure was foreign to me.
In the end it's going to be, (no big surprise here), whatever works best for you. But at this moment I'd have to say I'm leaning Sandvox. - JamesJM
