Summary: Ideal for a hobbiest on a budget
Comment: The problem with Namo is that bugs abound in their software and there is poor customer service. The bugs that I have encountered are so inconsistent that it is really hard to say what causes them to occur. It seems that every so often a rollover goes dead. There is also a problem with saving different changes of files under different names... etc etc. If you go online for help -the moderators are likely to answer a question that you didn't ask and close the issue immediately.
However, despite the bugs -this webeditor is well priced. If you persevere through all the issues and learn a little manual HTML -you will have a working website.
However I must stress that if this were my only tool for mantaining and updating a website -I would seek another one. This is not a professional product and more suited for someone who is learning about websites.

Summary: Pluses and Minuses
Comment: I started with v. 5, used 5.5 and 6, and am trying the 2006 demo to see what's really different.
The pluses: This is easier to learn and far cheaper than Dreamweaver and has features Dreamweaver does not, built-in scripts being one of them.
The minuses: As many say, I found there is no customer support. My current version, (6) blows up every now and again, when deleting something. Also, sometimes when working in WYSIWYG mode it will sometimes start throwing in hard spaces ( ) between words which means they will not wrap.
They recently released or are about to release "WebEditor Professional." In the Namo forum, one of their alleged support techs said it is not an upgrade, just a repackaging. Another forum user says v. 6 is unstable and 2006 is good. I just have not seem much change from 6 to 2006 so I have not bought it yet.
I bought an OEM of DreamweaverMX real cheap when they came out with the next edition and still find it to be a steep learning curve and lacking in features that Namo has. I seldom use Dreamweaver.

Summary: Don't bother with it on Vista... better yet, don't bother.
Comment: I downloaded their Vista patch, which says it fixes a problem where Vista reboots when the program is installed. Not launched. INSTALLED.
Of course, installing the patch fails because it says the program isn't installed.
Guess what happened when I tried installing, because I assumed the wording was due to imperfect Korean->English translation? It rebooted.
No, it seems the linguistics were just fine. The logic of the programmers still leaves a lot to be desired, however. I had used this product 'successfully' on XP, but agree with the other commenters here about stability and poor customer support.
Not to mention the program does generate a LOT of bloat. FrontPage may be Microsoft-centric, but the bloat isn't as asphyxiating as Namo's offering... especially with CSS... (FrontPage ignores it; Namo's needs manual tweaking or else it'll repeat every CSS entry...)

Summary: Easy to Use Web Publisher
Comment: I have used Namo WebEditor since v 5.5. For the money, I think this a fast, easy, dependable editor. For my modest site editing needs it is every bit as capable as Dreamweaver. I have also tried DW, FP, Nvu, GoLive, and Mozilla, plus a couple of others I can't recall (that's how memorable they were). IMHO, WebEditor 2K6 Rocks!
The multiple interface (Edit, Html, or edit/html) make designing your web site easy whether you like drag-and-drop or using code.
In "Edit" mode the word processor-like interface makes web page design drag-and-drop simple. (And easier than working in Word at times.)
If you prefer to use code, you can do that too. You can also use a split screen to see the code as you create.
Despite what some reviewers have said, this program is rock solid on my computer. I have never had it crash, and the FTP client included works flawlessly.
I can't comment on the Tech Support, because I have never needed it. The help screens are all that I've needed. (I don't have the manual, because I downloaded my copy from Namo.) BTW - I always save a copy of downloaded progs and serial nos. separate from my operating system drive, and burn them to a CD...just in case.
If you are looking for a modestly priced web editor with lots of capability, I think you should give this one a try.

Summary: Longtime Namo User -- JUNK - NO SUPPORT
Comment: I bought Namo 5.5 several years ago when I needed support for non-Latin alphabets to do a Russian website. I gradually used it to change my various sites (about 22). Recently I noticed a HUGE flaw in WebEditor 2006 and it is also in Namo 6--Global Search & Replace adds a space after EVERY double quote (ASCII 34). Even if that is not what you are replacing! What is the reason? Internally, instead of storing & quot; it only stores & quot (SOMETIMES). I have one site with over a HUNDRED pages. GS&R screwed up almost ONE-THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED double quotes! Today I found a spelling error (on every page) and tried to use GS&R. It screwed up the double quotes again, so I loaded the backup and I'll have to change them all manually. On the plus side, when I finally got disgusted of trying to get a response from Namo, which has had my tech support request on this "in progress" for 2 months, I looked at several other editors and didn't find anything better in this price range. My advice? If you are doing a simple website and don't need templates, etc., (which don't work so well with Namo anyway), download Netscape 7.2 for free, which includes and HTML editor. Regarding Namo's built-in templates, most of them are terrible although they are signficantly improved over Namo 6. They're fine if you want to produce a personal website but they just don't look professional. Regarding the free WebCanvas graphics editor, if you can figure out how to use it, I'd sure like to know. You can download WE2006 from Namo's website, which should convince you to look elsewhere.
