ecto vs KungLog
Having been reluctant to upgrade from Kung-Log to the latest and greatest replacement for it (ecto), I've finally begun to use it a bit.
Things I like:
The interface has been thought out a bit better. It looks cleaner, is easier to deal with a few tasks, and overall is consistent with the themes of the operating system.
It's now much more intuitive to select multiple Categories for a posting, something I've mentioned to Adrian as a bug in the past (he quickly corrected me on this).
Trackback additions are easier to manipulate and control.
Things I don't like:
Why oh why do I constantly have to add a summary to a post? I don't like to use summaries, and frankly, I don't care for them. From what I've found so far, it's possible to turn this off, but why would should it be turned on a default option? If a summary is to be a default option, it should clearly be found on the main screen of operation, not via a button to another page on the screen.
I'm not entirely sure I agree with having the Entries and Drafts section become a window of it's own. I haven't used it enough yet to decide if it's better as a standalone window, or if it should have been integrated with the main screen.
The HTML option seems almost usable now, but I still find myself hand typing in the HTML code vs using the HTML drop down menu.
One feature I would like to see incorporated is the ability to delete and alter comments to a posting via ecto.
