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. :( > PS4 (you must get 5.5 and imageready - imageready is the best web tool I have > besides Photoshop) 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). > PS6 (have it. hate it. hate the little toolbar, hate a lot of things about it. > Mostly that little > stinking toolbar that goes across the top.) 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. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
