I'm still using the trial so I imagine that would hinder me from taking advantage of the update. I'll be buying it later this week. I usually try it out for a few weeks before I make the purchase. I've tested it out for a little over a week, and I'm really impressed with it. I'll be writing a review at the technology website where I write. I write for their Mac website. I also use MarsEdit when I'm writing there. I see only a slight difference of what I see when I'm writing so I imagine it has to do with my permissions? I don't mind adding the code, but I know some who will be turned off by that. I haven’t updated mine yet.

What matters is not pixel-perfect rendering of what will appear on the blog post for typographic pleasure, but more the structure of it. A title embedded in <h1> tags is not as readable as something that actually looks like a title. Even worse with HTML entities. I'll gladly leave the typography to my server side, as long as I can properly read what I'm writing (and no, having a parallel preview window is not the same. And yes, I'm sure MarsEdit WYSIWYG will kick ass) In my view, the lack of rich text editing features impairs the non techies in the readability factor of whatever they’re writing.
