ECTO -- I like Ecto but it's not without its problems, including its need for reinstallation if you use it behind a firewall without the correct proxy settings. My XP2-Novell misconfiguration resulted in ecto failing to launch after it crashed itself. Having said that, ecto is smooth when running remotely from web services. It's part of a well-oiled writing process for me.
Yahoo finds at least two other problems with ecto.
