Visual CSS editing?

Hi, I'm just learning CSS and I feel the need to be able to drag sliders to immediately see the effect of changes in font size, spacing, etc etc.

Stylizer seems to do a great job of this, while preserving the CSS code format so I can keep track of the details.

Does anyone have experience of this or similar software, and are their any pitfalls to using it?

Thanks!

That's quite cool but you'll find yourself ignoring things like this as once you get used to CSS and have some experience in what does what, you'll find it is actually slower using a program like that then just writing it and then making tweaks.

Thanks for sharing this!

It has elements of a WYSIWYG editor but you are still hand coding most of it. This looks great for a beginner and would save me time for sure.
