    The biggest, most important difference between WordPress and Silex is that Silex is WYSIWYG while WordPress is NOT!

    Unfortunately, the cloud hosted version requires a Github or Google account which is totally unacceptable. What happens to your Webstudio access if Microsoft or Google delete or restrict your account?!
