My Review 

A good editor but with some serious flaws.

I've used PageBreeze for almost a year now. It is a reasonable editor with WYSIWYG features and the ability to quickly go into the HTML to edit it directly.

I have found two severe problems that make it impossible to recommend. First, if I use the tab to edit the metadata fields for a page, then PageBreeze will overwrite my existing file with an almost blank file. Yikes!

Secondly, when you open one HTML file for editing PageBreeze will offer to save the current page. Occasionally it will overwrite the file it wants to save with the contents of the file you are just opening. Yikes again.

I avoid these two problems by never, ever using the metadata tab and always saving a page before opening a new page.

So while these two bugs can be avoided with some care, they are too severe to recommend the software.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

No
