Haven't had a chance to try UD4 yet, been using DW since version 1.0 and
I've loved it and preached the gospel for years. Had I a decent
high-bandwidth connection I'd download the new version. I can tell you a few
things about UD needs to be stepped up in the code-writing world to compete
with CFStudio.
1. Notepad has all the features of the Dreamweaver/UD code editor
(sans-color-coding)
2. No tag insight
3. No document tree window for editing multiple docs from the same editor
interface.
4. Limited Shortcuts in the editor view
A few things I REALLY like about UD/DW (just to even things out)
1. Visual Authoring of complex table output
2. Ability to author CSS/JS in the same environment (yes, you CAN do this in
CF, but it's SO much nicer in DW/UD)
3. Extensibility !!! Ability to build custom tools and functions
Some things that would be nice to see:
1. Built in XML parser that recognizes standard XML formats (doc book, RDF,
etc.) and will output XML files into CF/ASP/JSP pages using CFFILE or
comparable functions in the other languages.
2. Built in XSL parser - assign XML elements CSS properties in a visual
environment.
3. Support for Fusebox and other CF-related methodologies (CFOBJECTS, etc.)
Some of these things may have been addressed in UD4, dunno.
By the way, what happened to UltraDev 2.0 and 3.0? Can you really just jump
from 1.0 to 4.0 in one version? Sounds a little Netscape-ish to me :)
