I actually dislike in-place editors. As a writer of posts, I actually prefer to edit and write text outside the context of a webpage. There's too much visual distraction - images elements, ads, columns, etc that end up cluttering the editing workspace. Concrete5's model of using overlays also screams distraction to me. Why not just use a clean admin interface? It's also better for professional writers who don't need to know the minutia of which column and which part of the site the text is going into.
Concrete5 might be easier for people who want to build websites, but in-place editing just doesn't work for people who only want to write and put together actual content.
- jordanlev 16y agoTrue -- a dedicated writing interface makes much more sense for blog where you are adding new content that is similarly-formatted on a daily basis. But if you're building a marketing or informational site for a business, a traditional CMS makes a lot more sense.
