Dreamweaver or GoLive?

dquan97 · Jan 25, 2003

I've been using UltraEdit to create webpages and decided to switch to a program that allows me to bypass hand-coding the tedious stuff (tables, javascript). I want to know which one is better in terms of usability and function between Macromedia's Dreamweaver and Adobe's GoLive.

Dreamweaver IMO, Go Live's interface was not very intuitive to me at all.

dreamweaver MX is very nice

supports php, asp, asp.net, jsp, and CFM has well

Dreamweaver MX. Go Live! is adobe's continuation of Page Mill.

Dreamweaver is so great. Just about every thing needed to make web pages is in dreamweaver. Get a good book if you are new to it. I use the Dreamweaver MX Bible. Fireworks MX is a great companion for it too.

Dreamweaver MX

Wow, overwhelming support for Dreamweaver! By the way, I have the Dreamweaver MX Bible too. Any votes for GoLive?

DW is what i use

Notepad.

He said he didn't want to handcode things, we are so impressed you can do that wow

. Seriously, DW is very nice and gets the job done. I found Go Live a little to confusing at times.

Another vote for DreamWeaver. I've used both (although older versions than the current versions), and DreamWeaver was much, much better.

Dreamweaver.

I hate the "notepad." people. It's the worst text editor ever. At least if they want to be "uber k3wl l33t coders" they could say VI or something.

dreamweaver mx.

I used both. Get Dreamweaver. Period.

that's retarded, hating somebody just for the tool they use. some of us just find notepad to be convenient... it's on every machine and it works

Is frontpage in the same catagory as the other two?

You're kidding right?

Anyways, Dreamweaver.

LSUfan · Jan 25, 2003

I'd have to agree
especially when you just need to make a page to display an image to put in your directory for Apache to serve it when you need to show someone something, just open up Notepad, and type out the 5 lines of code, and you have your image(<html>, <body>, <img src="">, </body>, </html>)
easy as pie (actually, pie is quite hard to make, so what does this phrase really mean...?)

Incase you care, GoLive was bought by Macromedia from another company to REPLACE Pagemill. They knew their program sucks so the lifted it from another computer, it's a new generation, not a continuation.

Pagemill blew my nutz.

In Dreamweaver...

Insert>Image>OK>Save *DONE*

and if you want something that's on every machine? Word will save as a webpage and is just as easy as dreamweaver

I have both at the office, but I actually use GoLive most of the time since Dreamweaver seems to crash a lot on our systems. If you're only doing lightweight stuff (like I do, the design and site management is handled by others) GoLive is fine for most things. A lot of the programmers in our group love ColdFusion Studio (even the ASP programmers who hate ColdFusion.)

Dreamweaver MX / Notepad -- great combo

Dreamweaver or GoLive?
