Yes Ecto is great to create your post off-line, especially for Mac users. But for Windows users there is a challenger Blogjet . Here is a screen shot of what it looks like. Easy to use indeed! This post was made with it. 
Thanks to Buzz at Buzzmodo for the hint!
PS: The one thing I have not found yet is the trackback function.
Thanks for review! Trackback feature will be available in 1.2.
