Autoresponder - any recommendation?

Hi All

I know the word good is relative ... but I have been resourcing and researching on autoresponder ... seems like most websites recommend either Getresponse or Proautoresponder. Honestly, until one has tried in using it then one will be able to know the pros and cons of these 2 companies. :o .... So, guys, which one will you recommend for long term usage when price doesn't come to the picture? Any better recommendation out there?

Thanks a lot for your time and insights!

Sincerely

D.D.

PS. Does all autoresponder needs to be accompanied by text editing software? Why can't we edit it by using the autoresponder itself? :o
