I concur
and it hurts in one other way... it lets you bypass the learning curve for css...
My humble opinion... and trust me, **MOST** humble only me as user opinion....
Some would compare this with MenuMachine short cut to menus... ie, use a box pre-thing to do menus, as MM does (and forgive this analogy, Rob, pls) BUT
menus are so complex, that MenuMachine is a valued box to do it within... And I have bought some of Project 7 menus... and while nice, are not as good from a GLiver's experience with MM and the cost is 200% higher. Nothing against P7, but cost is much higher.
On the other hand to build a box solution for css site development, in my opinion is way overkill and way over priced. These are both solutions, but not both of same value.
DW has all these boxes for css built in... why buy more? It just isn't valuable...
On the other hand the "boxes" that Web Assist has built ( and the css is included) there are some serious shortcuts here worth investing in... I have only good things to say about Web Assist, even if they also include the css module in suite
So, bottom line... I do find true value with Web Assist.. TRUE value... but some elements not so much, and none of the menus in either as good as MM
