desktop client

Above all: WORKS FOR MAC.

I loved Semagic, I like XJournal a lot. iJournal is faily and its failures (like random fuckery of html) are probably worth evaluating. I still compose all my DW entries in XJournal and copypasta the results in DW's box, in fact. My perfect client would include:

- simple unflashy interface
- good html preview that shows dw-specific tags and indicates cuts, preferably that updates as I update the text box
- shortcut buttons for link, dw &lj user markup, italics, underline, bold (but not wysiwyg)
- customizable shortcuts/macros
- multiple saved drafts
- ability to switch between accts & post in comms
- ability to edit last entry, including in communities if the last post is yours or if you're a mod
- autodetect music
- poll builder maybe?
- icon manager thingy perhaps?

But mainly that it works on a Mac and doesn't poop out or do weird shit for no reason, that is all I really care about.
