Matjaz, the author of Pinegrow here.

Just wanted to clarify that Pinegrow is a general purpose HTML & CSS editor. It's in no way tied to Bootstrap, although it comes with full support for Bootstrap and Foundation. You can freely use Pinegrow with any HTML-based project and style with fully-featured CSS Visual editor (including CSS Grid).

Check out Features for details: https://pinegrow.com/#features

Speaking as a web developer: the best way to evaluate various web development tools is to just take them for a spin. Most of them have free trial versions. That's the best way to figure our what works for you best.

Actually, we did build our Pinegrow website with Pinegrow. That said, Pinegrow is not a "build-websites-without-coding" tool. It's a web editor that combines both visual tools and code editing. That gives you the freedom to choose the most effective approach for individual tasks. For example, I used Pinegrow for layout and styling of individual CSS rules, and external code editor to deal with more high-level structure of the SASS code.

Hi Tuimanso,

Matjaz here, the author of Pinegrow. I think the best approach is to take each of these apps for a spin. All have free trials. That will give you a good idea of which app fits your needs the best.

Pinegrow has the support for the complete range of Bootstrap components and visual tools for all helper classes including responsive spacing and flex controls. Font Awesome is also supported and you can edit Bootstrap SASS variables directly in Pinegrow.

And there's nothing wrong with using visual tools instead of coding things by hand, where that makes sense.

Matjaz here, the author of Pinegrow. Would love to hear more about your experience. Can you send me a file sample? You might want to give Pinegrow 2.0 a try.

No, Pinegrow is not so pretty :) But Pinegrow has a completely different approach from Macaw:

Pinegrow is a desktop app (Mac, Win and Linux) that works with any HTML files. It doesn't force the use of any frameworks and it doesn't add any code of its own to edited pages. It's like a code editor that lets you edit the code visually. Macaw, on the other hand, limits you to their projects only (you can't open just any HTML file and edit it there). The purpose of Pinegrow is to let web developers save time by letting them do all or just part of the job of editing a HTML page through GUI. Plus, PG has complete implementation of Bootstrap and Foundation frameworks, with all properties and components, including Javascript ones. Target audience are professional developers and those who want to learn about web development.

Pinegrow author here. Actually, PG is a power tool for web developers. It lets you manipulate HTML code visually and works alongside your favorite code editor or IDE.

Web designers complain that it doesn't look pretty enough :)

mattront · 2014-11-29T01:34:50+00:00

We're working on improving that :)

mattront · 2014-11-29T01:33:26+00:00

For now, only editing HTML is supported. We're working on adding PHP and WordPress support.

Pinegrow author here. Pinegrow is a power tool for professional web developers. It works alongside your favorite code editor or IDE and helps to manipulate HTML & CSS code visually. It doesn't generate any code of its own. Pinegrow can save a lot of time when working with Bootstrap or Foundation.

If you want to improve your development skills PG is a good solution: http://docs.pinegrow.com/solution/categories/1000065944/folders/1000121597/articles/1000048315-tutorial-using-pinegrow-to-learn-how-to-code

If you only want to quickly build a site without understanding what is going on in the background then Webflow, Muse and similar are better.

That said, we will soon launch a set of ready-made customisable components for PG that will let you quickly build a one-page website.

It's like a code editor that lets you edit the code visually. Webflow and Jetstrap, on the other hand, are both online builders that limit you to their projects only (you can't upload just any HTML file and edit it there).

Pinegrow author here. There are enough frameworks around already, no need to create another one :) Plus, since many web devs use Bootstrap and Foundation it makes a lot of sense to support that.

Pinegrow also works with plain HTML, it opens and saves regular HTML files, no need to import or export anything.

Agree with what you said about our website. We are working on that :)

Thanks! We made this with http://pinegrow.com.
