Must admit I only tried it for an hour or so today.
Issues, switching from page-sequences to blocks,
Batch file tweaking
classpath modification
Invalid XSLT produced (probably my finger trouble)
No transform error reporting

But I quite liked it overall.
The idea of using attribute sets for 'styles' was 'novel', but
probably a pragmatic solution.

Having 6 windows open at once reminded me of dev environment nightmares,
though I think I could get used to it.

Shows promise IMHO.

Just keep trying the right mouse (win32) on 'content',
its used widely.
