I thought, maybe, Adobe would fix this application. It is far more wothless and frustrating than the previous two versions. It writes spontaneous code that is just plain WRONG!
Unless you want a major headache and like going through and fixing everything it writes, steer far clear!
This is PRE-Beta software. You shouldn't have to pay for it.

i used to use golive way back in the days when it was called 'golive cyberstudio' [before adobe gobbled them up as well!] and it was streets ahead of the similarly youthful dreamweaver at the time - at least in terms of ease of use. that was back when both apps created their layouts using clunky, hacky, nested tables, built with horrible code spaghetti - when no-one really cared about concepts like standards compliance, as long as it worked on exploder and netscrape.
then when using CSS for layout became the 'next big thing' golive was left behind, as macromedia started really pushing the fact that dreamweaver wrote 'clean, standards compliant code' and thus dreamweaver gained the reputation as being the professional's choice. it was complete bollox of course. dreamweaver still generates horrible code spaghetti and takes about a hundred lines of said electronic pasta to do what you can hand-code in one. it just happens to be slightly less spaghetti-like than the code generated by golive!
whatever the differences between the latest iterations of these two old war-horses, it hardly matters. i'm sure both do what they do equally as well and you should use whichever one [or one of the competitors] you feel most comfortable with. at the end of the day real web designers hand-code anyway!

I think that it should be obvious that Adobe needs to make this commitment overtly, and publicly, to reassure dedicated Apple users (who feel that they've had a boot heel ground in their creative faces over the last couple of years) that they're not just milking this application for a few million more in Dreamweaver R&D money.
We're pulling for you Adobe, just let us know we're still written into your company's future, and you'll have my bucks.
Hoepful...

While not a fan of Dreamweaver, I can see the writing's on the wall for me to either adapt to DW or become a 2nd class web developer.

My distaste for Adobe is so great because of their crap with CS2 -- from the activation problems to not recognizing an upgrade of Photoshop (stand alone) when coming from the full suite set -- that I would willingly jump ship to just about any other product -- but opps! There are almost no other products anymore, since no company can stand against Photoshop, Illustrator, and so on (not even Macromedia). Bottom line, the actions of Adobe with CS2 (principally GoLive, since I rely on it so much) have robbed me of much of the joy that is my right as a Mac user.

what kind of idiot works all day on a file, without saving it until the end?
