I just read about the limited debut of Dashcode over at TS. It sounds interesting, but as of now its release is limited to MacBooks. Anyone use it yet?

My MacBook which I ordered on the day they were released and recieved on Wed 24th does not have dashcode on it unfortunatly. I installed the developer tools, and it ain't there.

Yes, its good but doesn't seem very complete, for instance there are only three templates, Custom, Countdown and Blog Viewer (a custom RSS widget) which is not nearly enough templates for a completed product.

There are no help files either, and the custom template doesn't seem to work for me (instructions may help).

Its still useful for widget development.

I use it but it doesn't work right, at least the Blog Viewer. The blog widgets never load.

I have it. It's more like a beta. Crashes and if you minimize it and then restore the working window the window is just all white.

I built a widget with some patience.... replaced the png files that made up the default scrollbar with one made up of Aqua scrollbar parts but it doesn't work. I still get the default scroller. Anyone know why this isn't working?
