Very true. Personally I don't care too much since I always used DW side by side with a text editor (HomeSite or whatever), as good as a visual tool can be I will always have the need for a fast text editor with a small footprint. I hope Homesite will survive, if not, I will move to EditPlus or UltraEdit for that kind of job > 2) Text-searching.

It's not the first time I hear this, I use Homesite since 1996 and DW since 1997, both almost on a daily basis. I can say for sure that the find/replace GUI in DW definitely needs some love, but it's much more powerful than what Homesite/CF Studio offer, it leaves Homesite/CF Studio in the dust in this department. First of all it's *faster* and the ability to search by specific tags is something unique, no other tool offer it (it has full support for RegExp as well). Trust me, give it another try, spend 30 minutes on it, explore all the features in DW's find/replace and you will discover a bunch of gems (hidden under the surface of a GUI that could be improved). This doesn't means you are going to mlove DW but, at least, you will be able to give a less biased opinion :-))) > 3) Buggy. Need I say any more? Yes, MX is the most innovative release of DW so far and, in my opinion, the most buggy too :-) Anyway, I wasn't able to use CF 4.5 until 4.5.2 upgrade came out, and I am sure I wasn't alone :-) A few people from MM announced on the forum that a dot release is not too far... ---------------------------- Massimo Foti Team Macromedia Volunteer for Dreamweaver http://www.macromedia.com/go/team ---------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
