Has Dreamweaver got any better..?
Moderator: General Moderators
I still use dreamweaver from time to time, the features like the template system in it and live data make it quite useful, I just find it easier when working on a class or a bit of script to use something like crimson editor or php edit (http://www.waterproof.fr/), php edit in particular has some really cool features that make working with classes and functions really easy.

I never said I was hardcore because I use Notepad...Todd_Z wrote:haha I agree patrik => I don't understand the ego boosting comment of "I'm hardcore because I use notepad to code" - No, you're not hardcore or in any way superior. You take longer to do what someone using an advanced IDE could do. I just don't get it.

Dreamweaver for all design work
Zend Development Studio for all programming
Dreamweaver produces decent HTML, ive been using it for around 3 or 4 years now, starting with V3, i use it purely because it allows me to work faster which means quicker projects and faster income.
edit: Im now using MX Studio 2004 btw also, ihavent touched server-side coding in DW since MX, the code it produces is disgusting

I have to say, my experience with Dreamweaver is a bit lack luster, a bit in version 2, very disappointing, and a little in MX. But it always seemed so bloated to me.
I prefer simple programs and have using PSPad for awhile.
It's great for exactly what I do, code in source.
If you aren't yet 100% comfortable with coding by hand, I would say Dreamweaver is perfect, but if you can code in notepad, why not use something lower cost, or better yet, open source?
But thats just my opinion.

Agree
I Agree, but I have still not found some tool that I like which generates nice HTML.Jcart wrote:Often enough I like to combine hand coding and html editors such as dreamweaver...
Dreamweaver does seem a bit clumsy, and I couldn’t get it to do exactly what I wanted to.
