Version: Adobe Dreamweaver 8
"Much improved over earlier versions, but..."
Pros: Version MX 2004 has a much better interface than previous versions. It still needs a lot of work, but at least most routine operations don't make you open a dozen menus any more. The code and CSS validation are welcome and accurate, and styles and tags are now displayed much more accurately than they used to be.
Cons: Good god, is this thing bloated, though. The program and its price tag are way too big for the utility it offers underneath all those (dubious) bells and whistles. Even with the improved interface, there are some tasks that are easier with Notepad than they are with Dreamweaver. I wonder if Dreamweaver would be anywhere near as popular if the trial version were not so easily hacked to disable the time-out..?
They're never going to get me to pay four bills for this program. I'm with CNet, and wish Macromedia would offer a smaller and more sanely-priced version, without so much useless fluff.
