Some developers feel EWB may be limited by its stagnant release cycles.   But I think it is quite flexible and solid, and if inspired, one can do things as well as almost any other current environment.

I recently designed a content management system that allows academics to make and publish web pages easily.   They tend to have text, pictures and LOTS of equations, so the system makes those easy to enter.

Easy is a relative word.  Many people think WYSIWYG editors like Word are easy, but academics prefer exact manipulation, typically using tools LaTeX to write important works.  Having written 10 books in my life, I can attest to the fact that Word is crap for anything complex or long, real tools make better sense.

For the record, the academics' audiences are other academics, the public and students.  Therefore the content must be viewable on cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.

The whole web site explaining itself is designed using this tool, so it’s been pretty well tested.

We are currently working on the CSS to fine tune it to all paltforms.  That's a bit of a challenge requiring a lot of repeated tests on each platform and brand (iphone, android, and laptops with chrome, firefox, safari, etc.).

There’s a 2 minute video about it a week ago early in the dev cycle,

Since the video was made, I have added a symantic editor which uses colour, bold, italics, etc. to highlight the language components immediately as one types (so it’s not all must plain text) much like Delphi does, as well as still rendering the final web page instantaneously as shown in the video.

The whole thing is built with EWB, lots of work but relaiively little code for what all it does, and two specialized JavaScript libraries.

If interested, you can read more about it at https://onlinescholar.uwaterloo.ca.  Let me know in Email or here if you have any ideas or questions.

That is really nice.  I love the ability to "see" in Cell Phone and Smaller Laptop.

Good work.
