I'd love to know what the biggest issues you faced were. Easy of use (for both users and developers) is a key goal with this plugin. The decision to have portfolio and ecommerce (i.e., WooCommerce support) as separate free extensions is for this reason; not everyone needs or wants those things cluttering up the main plugin.
I might consider releasing a paid extension or two, depending on demand. Perhaps a theme that really makes the most of Tailor's feature set (though to be honest I'd probably just end up releasing that for free too :P). It's important to note though that Tailor itself is and always will be free and features will never be removed. In fact it will only get better with time.
This is a WordPress plugin and is therefore dependent on WordPress as the earlier poster mentioned. You're certainly welcome to port the code to some other platform, but there would be a lot of work involved in that. I'm afraid I'm not aware of similar products that don't use WordPress.
That's definitely an advantage. I'd recommend using it to see how it stacks up (you've got nothing to lose). Tailor aims to be easier to use, particularly for users who are already familiar with WordPress. I'm not personally a fan of builders that make you first select a "column structure"; with Tailor you just drag elements relative to one another and dragging to the left or right creates (or adds) a column. Of course you can then resize then using a simple drag action.
Awesome! If it does look like something you'd like to use then I'd love to get any feedback and suggestions you have. You can email (hi@tailor.com), jump on GitHub or leave a note in our forum which can be found at http://support.gettailor.com.
I agree. Given this particular forum I thought the free and open source aspect of it would be more interesting, but you're right: it's definitely not the drawcard of Tailor. That said, the benefits of it being free are obvious and being open source people can get involved and help shape it (like WordPress!).
