While messing around with the new armor stands, I noticed 2 tags. One, called "NoGravity", and another, called "Invisible". So I got a brilliant idea to put the NoGravity, Invisible, CustomNameVisible, and CustomName tags onto an armor stand. The awesome thing about the "Invisible" tag is that it doesn't make the armor stand's NAME invisible, like the invisibility effect otherwise would. Observe:
/summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {Invulnerable:1b,NoGravity:1b,Invisible:1b,CustomNameVisible:1b,CustomName:I AM AWESOME}

Awesome find! This is way easier than the horse method of doing this and it works just like it

Few NBT-changing commands fit in the chat. You need command blocks, which have no character limit. (Well, really it's just a very large limit, like the 32,000,000 block limit.) This is nothing new. And chances are, if you can't use /give to get a command block (i.e. on a server), you can't use /summon, /entitydata, or anything anyway.

Just to quickly clarify: the character limit for command blocks is 32,767 characters, which is the limit of the "string" tag-type that holds the command. Before 1.8, the limit was 16,369 when using the command block in-game, thus a third-party editor was needed to use the full potential of the "string" tag.

NoGravity is exactly what it sounds like, it makes it so the armor stand doesn't fall.

Yes, but you would have to use MCEdit along with some plugin to make the armor stand's name have a § in its name. For a while now, it's been impossible to paste the § symbol into the chat. You can get this symbol on Mac by doing Alt+6 or you can get it with Alt+21 on Windows.

To remove them all: /kill @e[type=ArmorStand]
To remove a specific one: /kill @e[type=ArmorStand,name="name"] with the quotes

Not without something like NBTExplorer, where you may or may not be able to use the "§" symbol to color the text. Tell me if it works!

To my knowledge you can only use McEdit to do that. Unless I've missed something with 1.8.
