--- Quote from: Lord C ---lol Frontpage is not a competitor to Dreamweaver.
They are in totally seperate markets.

As for the Open Source developer ... NVU :)
It's great. Started out as Mozilla's Composer, look at it now.

Right, Dreamweaver appeals to pros, while FrontPage is the first choice for high school students. But don't you think M$ would like to capture the professional market?

worker201:
Bah!  I use vi to write webpages!

(and sometimes bluefish)

:lol:

But I still like Flash's drawing tools.  I hope they don't make some kind of Flash CS bloatware, that allows you to build Flash Word documents.  The "creating Word documents with Illustrator" feature bugged the shit out of me.

Lord C:

--- Quote from: piratePenguin ---I would've thought they were. They both do very much the same thing. Unless.. Would I be right in saying that newbies use Frontpage and professionals use Dreamweaver? I'm only thinking that 'cause I've seen so many shit websites designed in Frontpage..

Yes, FP is for newbies and DW is for pros.
Making them totally different markets, and not compeititors.
The prices also show this.


--- Quote from: piratePenguin ---NVU looks brilliant. Haven't used it though 'cause it's Qt (and I don't have/use Qt). And the only Qt app I'd love to be Gtk+.

Indeed it is very nice. But I'm still hooked on Dreamweaver atm :)

They are not aiming at the pro market.

hm_murdock:
FrontPage doesn't run on OS X, so it can never be a real contender.

The other reason it doesn't matter is I don't give a shit about it, so fuck it.

Commander:
dreamweaver is great.  I can still use it, thanks to crossover.
My only concern at this point is that will adobe fuck it up?  and knowing adobe, the answer will probably be yes.
