For those that pre-ordered, here's a message from the team: "We are no longer using Paddle, you will receive an email directly from our system with details on how to setup your account. Those emails are going out soon. Thanks!" http://forum.macaw.co/discussion/318/macaw-v1-0-is-here

I heard about this a couple months ago at a conference on rapid prototyping, and I've been waiting for it to come out in the hopes that we would finally have a rapid prototyping solution for user interface designs. I'm basically looking for a balsamiq with lots of built-in animations and UI interaction patterns.
Unfortunately, it looks like this product is geared more towards being a full-featured WYSIWYG for webpages rather than a prototyping tool for UI.
I need something that will allow me to say "when the user clicks on this, this other element slides down"... Preferably without having to do the HTML and JavaScript myself. I don't need it to be production worthy, as my developers will insist on doing the code themselves anyway.
It looks to me like this is a great tool for either people who don't know HTML/CSS or firms that need to kick out webpages quickly where the designers don't want to hand code the HTML/CSS.
Not saying that isn't a huge market, it's just not targeted toward UI prototyping.
That said, if the goal here is to provide a Dreamweaver 2.0 that spits out much better quality code, then this option looks really solid and slick.
"Price is a flat fee and not a subscription. Price includes all updates to version 1 of Macaw."
Will be very interesting to see how this get adapted by the design community.
Can anyone who has used this explain to me if it is worth $180? I own both textmate($50 iirc) and sublime(around $70 iirc) so spending that much seems a bit much. I know it has some nice visual features, but is it $120 worth?
Well, it's not really a text editor, it's more of a WYSIWYG editor.

As a full-stack developer it interests me because it lets me visually create the visual part of a site. I don't like writing CSS when I have so much other development to do, but at the same time I don't want some shitty, bloated WYSIWYG editor that spits out garbage code. Macaw's authors have emphasized the quality of the generated code since the beginning so even if it's not perfect right away it's certainly comforting to know it's a priority for them.
