This is a great piece of software that I have been using for years. Each upgrade adds more functionality for which I find a use. Highly recommended, and I can't believe it's still free!

CodeLobster PHP Edition version 2.1
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 2

Sorry, but I'm not impressed. It's little more than a text editor with a highlighter, preview function and a debugger.

SmartFTP
  • Free Trial ($36.95)
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP

qleft  Good until version 2.5  qright

SmartFTP version 3.0.1011.16
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 1
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 2

I used this often in conjunction with FileZilla - I couldn't pick one over the other until SmartFTP Version 2.5 arrived. Loading the program was hit or miss on all 3 of my XP machines (all of them less than 3 years old). Some days it would load, others it would hang after the nag screen. After playing these games for months I became so frustrated that I finally uninstalled it and started using FileZilla exclusively.

Color Cop
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Great tool  qright

Color Cop version 5.4
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

As a web developer, I am always looking for a tool that will tell me exactly what color I need to match to an image and Color Cop is the perfect program for this job. It is not as full-featured as CPick, but gets the job done without the bells and whistles.

ClipMagic
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Works...sometimes  qright

ClipMagic version 3.2.3
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 2
  • Overall: 2

I've been using ClipMagic for about a year. For the first few months, no problems. I'm not sure what changed, but for the past 4 - 5 months, it takes over 2 minutes to load and brings my Win XP machine with an AMD 3000 and 1gb Ram to a crawl until completely loaded. No change in behavior after a clean reinstall. I then tried it on my Laptop, same issue - over 2 minutes to load. I've tolerated it so far because it has a great feature set, but as another reviewer pointed out, it doesn't always pick up everything that was copied, and I noticed it also shows every PDF file that was opened as a clip (pdf logo only). Very strange behavior that has caused me to seek out an alternative.

FileZilla version 2.2.9

Outstanding features, very intuitive. I use it daily and I have yet to find a bug in the past 2 years. What more could you ask for?

AutoRuns version 8.43
  • Interface: 5

WYSIWYG Web Builder
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP

qleft  Recommended, but...  qright

WYSIWYG Web Builder version 2.7.1
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

I have to say, I am impressed. It appears to be a great product for a beginner. The only thing that bothers me is that it does not appear the author uses this for his own website. Take a look at his HTML source - he uses a different WYSIWYG software product.
