Outstanding technical support and the best way I've found to keep a local copy of my blog posts and pages. Managing six blogs with MarsEdit. The lack of "extras" is a strength for what MarsEdit does.

Have used it for years, and it is absolutely best in class, ideal for my work which involves posting to many blogs and editing posts. It survived the change in ownership well. I'm pleased.
