But what's wrong with Dreamweaver? /s
- artursapek 14y ago
  Joking aside, Dreamweaver got me into HTML and CSS six years ago when I was 13 and now I have a pretty awesome job developing. Like pdenya states, it's definitely not for power users. But it has its place.

    I do agree with you and was definitely was in the same boat. Dreamweaver actually functions pretty well for a starter/basic FTP and code editor, but beyond that it's very, very outdated and needs a massive overhaul.

    Years ago, when CSS layouts were the new thing and hadn't quite been figured out yet, I used Dreamweaver's code editor and WYSIWYG view to teach myself the basics of CSS layouts. This was before I knew how to "program," and I'm sure there are better ways to learn, but it was an effortless way to get instant code-output feedback which really helped at the time and probably helped in my foray into programming.

Same, but I've never used an adobe product thats fast, responsive, and made for power users. I don't want another editor that's trying to hold my hand like dreamweaver.

  Not originally Adobe, but Homesite? Bit embarrassing, but I actually still use Allaire's Cold Fusion Studio from 1999. I think that was, at the time, the big brother to Homesite.

    Homesite was the first thing I thought of, which was definitely one of those trips down memory lane that leaves you thinking "wow, that was how long ago?!"

  Photoshop is fast, responsive and made for power users, illustrator and in-design more-so. In fact, all three are absolutely best in class with nothing even close to challenging them. The problem is more that they don't compete well when the opposition are just text editors, and where people are perfectly happy to remove all the visual stuff.

have you looked at muse (http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html) and the sort of sites that come out the other end (http://juliegratz.com/ http://juliegratz.com/) I hope that's not what they have in mind, quite why they are showing off a website who's homepage doesn't have a single bit of text (view-source:http://juliegratz.com/ http://juliegratz.com/) other than a copyright assertion I have no idea
