 * Compared to TimyMCE Advanced this plugin is sadly lacking. You want many of the
   functions TinyMCE and TinyMCE Advanced provide, you have to pay for the pro version
   of this plugin. Don’t spend your money when you have free alternatives.

 * Thank you for writing.
 * However… there are many features you have obviously missed in the free version.
   You can see all the additional features this plugin offers on the main “description”
   page.
 * Yes, both TinyMCE Advanced and WP Edit both provide drag and drop functionality
   of the editor rows… but WP Edit goes further by adding additional, locally developed
   addons (such as advanced image and advanced link).
 * The Pro version goes further by using “Snidgets”; even more locally developed
   addons (like YouTube searches; or Format Painter button); and independent user
   options.
 * Regardless… thank you very much for posting.

 * [@mythusmage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mythusmage/) I’ve deleted that
   other topic, I don’t want you to think that it was Josh.
 * If you do not like the answer to a topic then please do not create new topics
   for the same thing. It really doesn’t help and you can reply here to continue
   the conversation.
 * The only thing I ask is this: please remain positive.
 * if you have a legitimate support question for the WP Edit plugin then you are
   in the right place.
 * If you wish to use this plugin’s sub-forum to promote another plugin or cast 
   aspersion in Josh’s direction then I’ll close this topic too.

 * Jan, that other post was me saying why I said the plugin was broken.

 * Is it broken as in something in the plugin isn’t working properly?

 * It’s broken in that many functions available in Tiny MCE by itself are now pay
   items in your plugin.
 * Base features=free.
 * Custom features=pay.
 * Learn the difference between base and custom features.

 * That’s not broken, that’s your preference. Broken would be “I tried this feature
   of the plugin and it was supposed to do XYZ and it did something else.”
 * If you do not like a free plugin then just don’t use it. If you wish to just 
   pan the plugin due to your preferences then that’s not productive or even accurate
   and I’m closing this topic.
