"Good, basic HTML editor"

by t045t on July 26, 2008

Pros: Easy to configure and use, don't really have to know anything about how HTML works to get it to make a basic web page. Easy to choose colors, fonts, tables, etc. Advanced features let the user insert meta tags and tweak how the page displays.

Cons: In CSS mode it is clunky and gawdawful. Have to reset your settings with every paragraph, and the finished code is almost as bad as Trellis. Not recommended for doing CSS.

"Not Useful"

by Mike98 on February 21, 2006

Pros: Easy install and uninstall.

Cons: Sometimes when you skip a line on a page when writing text, it is not visible after you send this page by FTP program on the web and no matter what you do you can not correct this.

"Great for newer equipment.. Sucks on anything else.."

by Bordy97 on July 7, 2006

Pros: it has that tried and true composer feel.. easy to install.. easy to figure out..

Cons: I tried this on a B&W G3 (350mhz / 512mb ram / OSX 10.4.7) ... that's not a good combination for this app.. it really needs more machine.. which means I really need to find a different editor..
Oh well.. better luck next time?

"Very nice"

by ebontrager on July 31, 2005

Pros: The install worked flawlessly, as does most MAC OSX installations. Simply drag the nvu.app to the application folder and you are done.

The program works great. It assumes you are editing in WYSIWYG although it works just fine using the tabbed source code as a text editor. The included CSS editor is very flexible and available, although I haven't tested this in depth. Same with the javascript section.

The included HTMl validator is nice for checking existing code.
Performance was fine on my G4 Ibook. Couldn't expect anything better for personal use.

Cons: Could us a PHP editor although this is picky.

"It pays to read the "read-me""

by datalok on July 9, 2005

Pros: IMPORTANT WARNING
=================

Do **not** run Nvu directly from the disk image (the *.dmg
file you just opened) or you will experience a never-ending loop.
Please copy the Nvu icon in that disk image to your /Applications
directory and run Nvu from there. Thanks.
