Fix before features
I really, really want to like this program. It appears as if your features are becoming equivalent or better than Artisteer. However, your UI is ugly, awkward and sometimes unclear. Not great for a DESIGN tool. Font selection is a mess. It would be nice if the code you output was better formatted, but I'd bet that you'd see a significant increase in interest if the UI was improved. Hope I don't sound harsh--I'm really pulling for you.

Stock images, while somewhat helpful do not adapt to containers by default as they should. Simple editing functionality such as Select All, Copy, Paste do not work or exist as expected or do not preserve formatting such as when copying and pasting text or replacing images. Multiple viewports beyond 3 are non-existent. I could go on but this note would be very long.
It should be apparent what needs to happen. It certainly is to the company's benefit and will the current competition a run for its money.

I completely agree with this. The interface is painfully dated looking. For example, the Effects tool is useless and confusing, not even the manual explains its purpose. The multi-layer navigation and menu structure for changing colors, images, styles, and fonts is unnecessarily complex.

Thanks for your feedback, we are already working on improving the User Interface for the next major version.
