Version: Xtreeme WebsMill Free Edition 1.0
"Not intuitive or user-friendly"
Pros: First, let me say I gave up before completing the tutorial, so I did not get a chance to appreciate the pros.
But it is free!
Cons: The reason I didn't complete the tutorial: The tutorial starts by showing you how to display the ubiquotous "Hello World!" text on your web page. This takes less than 30 seconds in html..and the html code needed takes less than 30 seconds to learn.
But, this tutorial made the whole process excrutiatingly complex. It required making changes on two pages and several panels, including some Unix-type references.
I gave up because I figured that if it's this complex to put a simple text message on a web page I can't imagine what it would be like doing a menu or even a simple flash animation.
Bottom line: I think that Xtreeme put the right price on this one. It's too difficult for beginners and too light-weight for advanced users.
However, it may appeal to some--and because it's free it will only cost you time (and perhaps some frustration) to try it out for yourself.
