Summary: why won't it work?
Comment: I've used Netscape Composer for 7-8 years before "upgrading" to Dreamweaver. I have TWO Dreamweaver manuals. But DW remains SUCH A PAIN to use.
* When I change the template, Dreamweaver should ask me if I want to change all pages created with the template. But sometimes it asks, and sometimes it doesn't. Why? (When it doesn't ask, it means the pages created by the template remain unchanged).
* When I create a template, Dreamweaver puts it in a Template folder. Then when I create a page with it, the internal links all say /Template/index.html or /Template/books.html or whatever. This means that when I upload pages, it can't find other links on the website.
* And if I move the template out of the Template subfolder and try to "update" the links of all pages created with it...well, that doesn't work either.
* Dreamweaver won't let me create my own pages the way I want. I want to pick my own font, size, etc. for each page. But DW keeps forcing "styles" on me. I pick NONE for style. Then when I pick a 14 Font, suddenly DW has picked STYLE 2 (or whatever). So I go back to NONE for style, and now my font is gone.
* Or I'll pick a 14 Font Size, then a Lucinda Sans Font, and now the Font Size is changed. So I change the font size back to 14, and now the font is changed to Verdana, or whatever.
A nightmarish program, in that it doesn't do what I want it do do. I keep redoing, and redoing everything, because sometimes DW will accept my instructions, and sometimes not. Everything has to be done 1 to 8 or so times before DW works.
It's said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. Well, with DW you can do the SAME thing over, and you DO get a DIFFERENT result. Weird.
* Oh yeah, the WYSIWYG feature does NOT work. I previewed a page in Firefox. It looked one way. Then I uploaded the page to my website, and looked at it again in the SAME Firefox -- only now it looks different -- some different fonts, some different colors.
Crappy program.

Summary: Great choice
Comment: I upgraded from a much earlier version. This one runs just fine on my new iMac with Leopard. It is easy to use and powerful. I am getting ready to upgrade again to the CS3 version soon.

Summary: good ide for web development
Comment: If you are familar with the Macromedia line of products then this one is not a surprise -- it's a good ide. This version comes with support with most of the web programming languages out there -- including xsl stylesheets. The application loads quickly with rare crashes, has standard and secure ftp support, database connectivity tools, and common web elements. Using it just for code editing is also great.
I would suggest buying a suite that includes this one versus purchasing it
solely.

Summary: Dreamweaver Is Helpful For Amateurs
Comment: For an amateur in web design, Dreamweaver 8 helped me along without having to learn all the numerous coding that goes into creating a webpage. I would have liked if the program had basic templates available to use, at least for the layout of the page. Perhaps it does and I just haven't been able to figure it out. It is hard to create fancy designs if you aren't a web design professional, so the page I've been working on thus far is pretty basic and not very flashy. Other than that, the software is very easy to learn and I enjoy using it.

Summary: Excellent Product
Comment: Face it. If you want the best Web design software, get Dreamweaver. Sure there are other products that will do the job, but you will not find one that does so much, is so easy to use, and has so much support available in terms of books and Web forums. When I say it is easy to use, I am talking about knowing how to use it and then using it correctly, of course. You can do a little or a lot, depending how much effort you want to put into learning it. For Web design, this program is tops. Now that Adobe owns it, it will continue to get better.
