Appreciation & some gripes
Permalink
Firstly, the nice stuff - great work, Concrete developers. It wasn't without hesitation that I abandoned Drupal and tried out a different CMS. I really like what I see - it isn't often that I find a development tool that will change the way I work. Concrete has already changed the way I work. Well done!
Now the gripes - I find that the HTML emitted by Concrete leaves much to be desired. Take two examples
a. Try centering a table in the WYSIWYG editor and inspect the HTML. The <table> tag is marked with the align="center" attribute instead of having an inline style setting of margin:auto. Result - it does not work in Firefox, Opera, Chrome... .
b. The Syntax Highlighter uses a <pre> block. Fair enough. But you have forgotten to get it to word wrap. This could well be because you just used the GeShi module as is but without wordwrap it just isn't right when it comes out of the box.
In due couse I am sure I will find other issues.

Over the years we've been through quite a number of them, we built our own in flash with concrete v1 (huge mistake) we used fckeditor for a while (it stopped being good for a bit, but at was before they they lost the f in their name. Maybe its better now?
Any rate, thanks for the compliment. If you ever have the time we could reall use some help weiting how tos for drupal developers who want to learn concrete5
