Yay! I've been hoping Dreamwidth would develop its own desktop client. I've been using Semagic for years now and I'm currently sticking with version 1.7.0.9U and really happy with it, though I imagine Dreamwidth will eventually come up with awesome things that Semagic won't support.
Things I like in a desktop client:
*Ability to save drafts with actual file names, not just as "draft" *html mode that shows raw code *formatting buttons that make quick work of HTML markup and site-specific code *user-defined macros *spellcheck *having menus with all my icons, tags, moods, etc. *quick link button that turns URL on clipboard into HTML-formatted link *ability to view and modify filters *ability to post to communities *ability to crosspost to LJ
I like a lot of control over the applications I use (customization is key!), and I prefer them to have a small footprint. Basically for this I want a simple program that lets me compose posts, save them, post them, Oh! and edit them after I've posted.
