 * Would be interesting to see an FAQ page, with a comparison against the more popular
   [Advanced Code Editor](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-code-editor/).
   Presumably the author knows about Advanced Code Editor? If not, might be useful
   to join forces there, instead of maintaining two competing but very similar open
   source plugins.

 * dandv,
 * Thanks for your comments. I am aware of the Advanced Code Editor plugin and the
   reason I would continue to maintain the WP Editor plugin is simple: WP Editor
   is better. If you compare the two plugins side by side, the capabilities of WP
   Editor outshine those of Advanced Code Editor.
 * I wrote this plugin to capitalize on some weaknesses in the default WordPress
   theme and plugin editor which Advanced Code Editor does not fix. (Ajax file browser,
   file upload, and image preview to name a few).
 * WP Editor is less popular, that is true, but my hope is to continue to make the
   plugin more powerful and more successful.

 * Would be great to see exactly this comparison somewhere.
 * I think this would also help make the plugin more popular, showing how it’s better
   than the more popular alternatives.

 * WP Editor shows all the files/folders in the plugin, while ACE only shows the
   the first folder. I wish their was an ‘UNDO’ feature. That is what is really 
   needed (like Synchi).
