I hate to be the one ask, but where's the Linux support? I was ready to buy Macaw, but my web workflow is in Linux. Isn't it built on node-webkit? How hard could it be to port, really?
Linux? This sounds soooo 90s… Since then we have un*x that simply works: Mac.
Some thoughts: 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 WYSI…
Sounds like you're looking for something completely different than what this tool has been marketed as since the beginning. 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 em…
May solve your problems.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You have to sign in the first time, but after that, you should be able to use it offline.
They can't enforce their "any machine, one login in per copy" policy unless you log in each time you start it. Although one wonders how they deal with logging out, especially if that machine is offline, or just plain dead, when you "logout". Would imply a timeout or periodic phone home.
I recall reading one of the branches from that "responsive sites are all lookalike" thread from last week which stated that one of the problems is that the design was thought out by developers. Agree or disagree, the other way around that would be the target audience for Macaw?
How does it stands against RapidWeaver for the casual user? The price tag is challenging.

take a look at Indigo Studio http://www.infragistics.com/products/indigo-studio We evaluated it and liked it for pure interaction design.

I like the way you describe your ideal ux prototyping flow - I happen to have created something that works quite similarly: https://github.com/splatcollision/shorthand.js Would appreciate your thoughts on the syntax, etc. I describe it as "Like markdown for jQuery"
My specific case is that I don't really have any HTML to work with, just wireframes.
Of course, I could use a tool like Macaw to spit the HTML out and then put the shorthand into the code, but ideally I don't have to work with HTML/CSS/JavaScript at all.
I'm actually looking at indigo studio that was recommended below, and it looks like it nails my use case.
