![]() ![]() Bottom line, the actions of Adobe with CS2 (principally GoLive, since I rely on it so much) have robbed me of much of the joy that is my right as a Mac user. With a different workflow, GoLive excels Dreamweaver in a lot of ways, most significantly its integration with other Creative Suite applications. My distaste for Adobe is so great because of their crap with CS2 - from the activation problems to not recognizing an upgrade of Photoshop (stand alone) when coming from the full suite set - that I would willingly jump ship to just about any other product - but opps! There are almost no other products anymore, since no company can stand against Photoshop, Illustrator, and so on (not even Macromedia). Adobe didnt announce what it would give up GoLive. Sadly, the only thing to do is go to Dreamweaver.but that's not an option for me since its interface is not something I'm willing to use. I looked into it, learned the basics of PHP script so that I could make this possible, and I'm all ready to go. It is not a discussion board, but a community. Bottom line, Adobe does not deserve your money for this application, which they clearly dislike within the company (when you make a bug report, it's interesting to note that it's called GoLive, not Adobe GoLive). PHP Script, Adobe GoLive, oh my I decided that I wanted to start my own community-like site where you are able to sign up as an individual user, communicate, and interact. GoLive CS2 crashes regularly for me several times a day, and has even managed to crash WHILE SAVING A VERY IMPORTANT FILE, which wiped out an entire day's work for me, causing me to redo it all. I want to warn you about GoLive - it is the most frustrating, least reliable, most crash-prone app I have used since switching to OS X. at the end of the day real web designers hand-code anyway! Its HTML-editing tools and WYSIWYG interface are accessible and powerful enough to build even the most complex sites. i'm sure both do what they do equally as well and you should use whichever one you feel most comfortable with. With Adobe GoLive 6.0, Adobe has produced one stellar development tool. Whatever the differences between the latest iterations of these two old war-horses, it hardly matters. ![]() ![]() it just happens to be slightly less spaghetti-like than the code generated by golive! dreamweaver still generates horrible code spaghetti and takes about a hundred lines of said electronic pasta to do what you can hand-code in one. Then when using CSS for layout became the 'next big thing' golive was left behind, as macromedia started really pushing the fact that dreamweaver wrote 'clean, standards compliant code' and thus dreamweaver gained the reputation as being the professional's choice. that was back when both apps created their layouts using clunky, hacky, nested tables, built with horrible code spaghetti - when no-one really cared about concepts like standards compliance, as long as it worked on exploder and netscrape. I used to use golive way back in the days when it was called 'golive cyberstudio' and it was streets ahead of the similarly youthful dreamweaver at the time - at least in terms of ease of use. but it seems like adobe thinks there's life in the old dog yet. i'd thought golive was destined to be taken out the back and put out of its misery with adobe's gobbling up of macromedia. ![]()
