The feature that I’ve really grown to love with MarsEdit is its preview feature. That only seems to happen sporadically, though. My only other gripe is that once I started adding images to a post, the app can feel slightly sluggish on my Air, with a lack of immediate response after entering text. If I need to really tweak the position of an image, such as modifying the padding, then I do it by hand. MarsEdit’s options here are still basic, so not much has changed on that front. My only gripe is that tags are case sensitive, so, for example, if you start typing a tag with an uppercase letter, you’ll only see a choice of tags that start with uppercase letters. Given the lack of screen real estate on my Air, I now actually prefer this to a pre-populated list. That’s still the case, but MarsEdit does autofill tags for you as you type them, letting you see a list of tags that match the letters that you’ve typed. I said that the app doesn’t present you with a list of tags from which you can choose. What about my prior gripes? In the earlier review, I complained about how MarsEdit handles tags. I’ll gladly spend money on a reasonably priced app, that I’ll use often, that has a committed developer behind it. MarsEdit, on the other hand, gets updated frequently. The lack of updates, though, didn’t instill confidence that I wouldn’t run into other problems. To be fair to ecto, I didn’t submit a support request. I started to experience some strange anomalies with ecto, including graphical smearing in parts of the app.

Obviously, OS X has seen some significant updates since then, including a little update called Lion. The last update to ecto occurred in May 2010. The reason I looked away from ecto in the first place is that it almost seems to be abandonware. I’ve purchased a MarsEdit license, and haven’t looked back.
At the time, I favored ecto, largely because of the way that it handled images. Head on over to that review for a more detailed look at MarsEdit, and the other two apps. Several months ago, we compared MarsEdit, ecto, and Blogo, which are all Mac blogging apps.

This week’s app of the week post is a mea culpa of sorts, instead of a full review.
