I am currently playing with MarsEdit and Ecto to see which I prefer as a blogging client for my Mac PowerBook lappy.
My criteria? Easy to use, setup, works with my existing server software (currently Drupal but may change), sensible formatting of plain text (I hate manually typing html, I wish I could use something like reStructuredText), native Cocoa, saving drafts, and some other stuff. So far, they are both very similar - in fact almost feature parity AFAICT, but both have some annoying features that don't leave me with a clear winner.
I would really like to be able to add images to my posts, without mucking around with a separate upload step, and have captions and thumbmnails. Is that too much to ask?
