From an animator's perspective it as some nice new features; yet, from a coder's perspective I hate it. Even when forced to do timeline code, I still write the code in flashdevelop and then paste it in later, unless it is a very very small chunk.

At the very least they could have given dreamweaver some advanced code editing and IDE integration features that make Actionscript development easier.

Another gripe I have is with the HTML templates available in the flash IDE, and flash detection that doesn't always work in firefox, ... they are soooo outdated; why not provide users with the capability to easily make their own templates and pick and choose multiple features instead of one or the other? Why not just integrate dreamweaver and flash together completely? or provide photoshop features in illustrator?

The company is profit, not results and quality, oriented. They don't care enough about users to make one application that does everything, or an app that integrates extremely easily with another feature set if purchased; for, they don't think like that. SOA and tight integration is what they should be focusing on; yet, why would they when there current model has made them rich?

And one of the commenters wrote, "New features in Flash Player 10 - e.g. 3D,
bones and hardware acceleration - were all a massive let down and basically
useless."

I haven't downloaded CS4 yet, but I was wondering if other people felt the
same way, and why (or why not).
