Just out of interest what version is everyone using? I’m currently using 7.5.5 but plan to upgrade in the next month or two. ---

Still on 7.5.5 and it’s so stable that I’m loathe to upgrade just yet. I will eventually though. ---

Working on a test site in RW 8 and hoping to replace my old site in the next couple of weeks. ---

I’ve been using it since the release day. Love it and have no reservations in recommending it to others! Thanks, linda ---

RW 7.5.5 is stable, and I do have RW 8 but there are still issues that show up with the new version. I will continue to use RW 7.5.5 until RW 8 gets a little more stable. ---

I have built a few new websites with RW 8 and working fine! RW 7 has been totally retired. ---

Users with Version 7.5.5 have the best of both worlds if they upgrade. There are a number of small fixes to Version 8 being very rapidly rolled out. Both 7.5.5 and 8 can be used independently, so the more cautious need not jeopardise important sites. It is highly beneficial for all heavy users of RW to upgrade soonest so any de-bugging can be completed soonest by Realmac. I’m using 8.1 beta 2 and am very comfortable with it - migrating projects to Version 8 went brilliantly, and maybe it’s my lack of perception but I’d don’t seem to stumble upon any bugs. There can be no doubt now that RW is the best of its type in the market. ---

Still happily on 7 for the time being 🙂 but I have 8 in my pocket. ---

@kpryce1 > There can be no doubt now that RW is the best of its type in the market. Great. Which other ones have you tried to compare it to? I think most other offerings are trying to package what you get with RW + Stacks, rather than just RW. Would be good to know what you were comparing the **raw** RW product to. Or did you mean RW + Stacks? ---

@klaatu Of course - I do include Stacks in my appraisal. However, MacFormat is frequently rating RW 7 as the best and as an afterthought mentions that RW also supports thousands of addons (mainly stacks I guess to substantiate this statement). I was a Dreamweaver advocate but find it needs a lot of coding to compete with RW. I suppose what I really like is the ability (because of Addons) to very quickly get the desired end product. There are other addons of course that provide additional ‘Page Types’. ---
