I think that dreamweaver's always been a designer centric IDE and hasn't done particularly well as a code editor (as you point out). I'm a big time Eclipse user for CF code, which Adobe/Macromedia would love to replace with DW. Either way, it's always good to have input on product features even f you think you may never use them yourself. This is am opportuinity to answer the question 'why didn't they do XYZ?'.... sorta... ;)

I'm not sure if anyone here actually uses Dreamweaver... I think a majority use TextMate. A minority may use an IDE like RadRails/Eclipse. I used dreamweaver in the past. I think for the most part it's just too much program. It tries to be too much and pull too many tricks when all I need is to write some code 90% of the time. I really don't see Adobe making Dreamweaver any slimmer than it already is. If anything, bigger. Once you have a product out there, it's easy to add more to it. It's _really_ hard, if not impossible, to make any significant subtractions from it.

Val from the Adobe usability team asked me to send this out. Send her an email if you are interested! -Cameron --- Now that the dust has settled on the Adobe/Macromedia merger and CS3 launch, we are sending our engineers on the road to do some remote research. Our first stop is San Diego, and we will be there 4/25-27. Got ideas you want the Dreamweaver team to hear? Got a gripe about Dreamweaver and you can't believe we haven't addressed it yet? Need to use Dreamweaver but wish there were some things that worked differently? We want to hear your Dreamweaver pain. So, do you qualify to play show-and-tell with our product management team? You do if: 1. You use Dreamweaver. (OK, there is more to it than this, but if you do use it, that's a start.) 2. You don't use Dreamweaver or GoLive, but you do maintain at least one web site (outward facing or intranet); 3. You do some hand-coding using BBEdit, Eclipse, TextMate, UltraEdit, TextPad, Notepad, etc... 4. You write HTML, PHP, ASP, or ColdFusion, but don't use Dreamweaver or GoLive. If you answered yes to any of these questions, and are interested in meeting in your office in the San Diego area, please contact me. We would love to chat, explain a bit more about the meetings we are scheduling, and give you a chance to sound off about what pains you are feeling in this segment of the web. Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information. And thanks!
