After deliberately waiting a few months after launch I finally upgraded this week from RW6 & my initial impressions are all good here’s what I like:

1. the overall interface has been refined and improved I’ve only been using it a short while but already I prefer it over RW6.
2. publishing is much better. I have it set to ‘6 - Fast as Hell’ and it’s worked perfectly for me. I like all the info it displays when publishing also. It’s definitely more reliable than RW6 publishing which was a bit hit or miss for me.
3. projects window is improved
4. process of upgrading to RW7 was very easy especially when compared to upgrading from 5 to 6.
5. previewing pages seems to be quick
6. although I haven’t used it yet the ‘Health check’ feature looks useful
