    Moin Mike,

    a lot of people prefer the text editor for html and wod editing. The
    WODEditor leads to much better "code" then WOBuilder.

    MikeString : WOString {
         value = foo;
    }

    versus

    String2111111 : WOString {
         value = foo;
    }

    Just my two cents.

    For the ApiEditor it's much easier to modify the stuff from the UI.

    An example:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <wodefinitions>
         <wo class="Main" wocomponentcontent="false">

             <binding name="foo"/>
             <binding name="fooRequired"/>
             <binding name="fooWillSet"/>
             <binding name="fooRequiredWillSet"/>
             <binding name="fooBoolean" defaults="Boolean"/>
             <binding name="fooDateFormatStrings" defaults="Date Format
    Strings"/>
             <binding name="fooMIMETypes" defaults="MIME Types"/>
             <binding name="fooDirectActions" defaults="Direct Actions"/>
             <binding name="fooDirectActionClasses" defaults="Direct
    Action Classes"/>
             <binding name="fooPageNames" defaults="Page Names"/>
             <binding name="fooFrameworks" defaults="Frameworks"/>
             <binding name="fooResources" defaults="Resources"/>
             <binding name="fooDuck"/>

             <validation message="&apos;fooRequired&apos; is a required
    binding">
                 <unbound name="fooRequired"/>
             </validation>

             <validation message="&apos;fooWillSet&apos; must be bound to
    a settable value">
                 <unsettable name="fooWillSet"/>
             </validation>

             <validation message="&apos;fooRequiredWillSet&apos; is a
    required binding">
                 <unbound name="fooRequiredWillSet"/>
             </validation>

             <validation message="&apos;fooRequiredWillSet&apos; must be
    bound to a settable value">
                 <unsettable name="fooRequiredWillSet"/>
             </validation>

             <validation message="&apos;fooDuck&apos; must be bound to a
    settable value">
                 <unsettable name="fooDuck"/>
             </validation>

             <validation message="(validation (or (unbound fooDuck)
    (unbound fooDuck)))">
                 <or>
                     <unbound name="fooDuck"/>
                     <unbound name="fooDuck"/>
                 </or>
             </validation>
         </wo>
    </wodefinitions>

    The text is too "complicated" for hand editing. At least the
    validation stuff.

    I'm really happy with the wod text editor.
