Also scribefire doesn't support RTL languages

I also use WLW over ScribeFire. It's interface is superior. I am tempted to purchase RocketPost though. I am attracted to some its readability features:
* Instant pull-quotes
* Drop caps
* Paste quote: Adds quote source (e.g. “[NYT]”) automatically and inserts "..." between snippets
* Search: Find and link to previous posts
* Favorite links: Instantly link to a Wikipedia article, Technorati, Flickr or Del.icio.us tag, movie review, word definition or Google image search
* Related posts: Automatically link to related posts

I'd be interested in your impressions.

I agree with you. I, too, am using WLW in VirtualBox and Win 7. Draw back that I found to that is, in a pic heavy post, it drops the connection. Or, more precisely, it takes to long and the connection closes. After trial and error I can resize images in Scribefire to fit my Blogger blog field. I am going to experiment with Gimp to try and add shadows, etc. Still, it is a lot of extra steps that I do not have to do in WLW. Good post.

Well said sir. Much better than mine!

I tried Live Writer some time ago but didn't like the "seperate" part of it (i.e. another program). That's what I initially liked about ScribeFire.

As soon as I can find a tool where I no longer have to create a post in the source-code editor...I'll be a happy guy.
