Right there with you... I used to beta test all their stuff, and have now
moved over to dreamweaver. If dreamweaver had better site management, no one
would be able to say a good thing about golive. :)

Before they were bought by adobe, they were the "best" product out there
(barring a few missing features) but after adobe bought them, they started
screwing everything up.

The once intuitive interface (I say intuitive because while you can't just
pick golive up and run, but once you figure out how to do one thing you can
basically figure out how to do everything else in the program, kinda like a
mac) is starting to be screwed with and the features they add now have more
to do with "product integration" than actual things people need or have been
promised for years and years.

It's becoming the pagemaker/indesign of the web... You can't walk into any
decent web design firm without knowing dreamweaver, just like you can't walk
into any decent agency without knowing quark. :(

Agreed, 5.5 is a good, solid update... And I like imageready. My problem
with it mostly has to do with the fact that you can't buy it seperately, and
even if you could it can't do everything fireworks can. When you pay $750
for an app (photoshop+imageready) you shouldn't be able to get the same
functionality in a $2-300 app (fireworks).

Hence, why many, many (especially smaller) web firms aren't even buying
photoshop anymore. Remember when imageready was sold seperately? A bunch of
firms just ended up buying photoshop + fireworks, which is why adobe started
bundling it to help improve its marketshare (hey, it works for microsoft...
If you can't compete, give it away for free so they won't buy the
competitors).

Yeah, that's called "the pallette well". Look to see it more and more,
apparently (front hints I've gotten from an adobe employee) it'll be showing
up a lot in the new golive.

I was in the same boat as you... I was mostly pissed at v6 because they were
screwing up the intuitive of the interface (ie, you click on a tool and the
options are all stored under "info".

I've gotten pretty used to it though, it's a LOT better than what they did
to illustrator 7. :) But it took me a few weeks, and I still have issues
with ImageReady 3.0.
