DW is a horrendous!! program, terrible terrible terrible!!
Right from the start, just defining the site!!!! goodness me, what a shambles of file management that is!

GoLive was beautiful (and still is).

I bought CS2 Premium around when it first came out and love it. Then I wanted Dreamweaver and *bought* that. (Then it got packaged with CS2). So now to get Acrobat 8 will cost yet another $159? Okay… what *else* will get upgraded that I can spend $ on in the same package? Sheesh!

[...] Turns out that two bits of information are coming out that weren’t quite clear at first. Acrobat 8 is noted as being Universal and that with the introduction of Dreamweaver 8, this marks the end of GoLive being bundled in the suite. But from all I see, GoLive is still included in CS2.3 along with Dreamweaver. I guess you can expect CS3 not to include GoLive anymore. [...]

What a pain the interface of Dreamweaver is and absolute dog and mishmash to use. Ie frames how to edit a single cell in a table takes three clicks and trips to a menu GoLive just a click into the box and go. Things like MenuMachine wont work on Dreamweaver it creates brilliant menus with a few clicks.
The above comments I hope there is a seamless conversion for the actions in GL to Dreamweaver. I hope they fix the interface and the speed and the syntax checking which tries to fix legal custom java script.

Now, if flash would just follow suit. I think adobe should get this merge over with so license holders know where they stand. At least let people know what their plans are for all product integrations for Studio 8 and CS2/3. Way too much, control for a single company.

I do hope they can do something about the sheer bugginess of DW. When even basics like scrollbars and typing don’t always work correctly, you have to wonder about the quality control in the past. The only way is up….

Good point JMill. Yes, I think it’s “while supplies last. I think GoLive will likely still be included in the box until CS3. There’s no reason to take it out before then.

Whoops. Mea culpa.

I just looked again, and I confused the columns in the features grid.

GoLive is *not* included in the Standard Suite. However it does list both Dreamweaver and GoLive as being part of the Premium Suite. Is this a ‘While supplies last’ sort of thing or what?

Um, how “official” is this? I just checked the Creative Suite page and not only is GoLive not gone, it’s now included in the Creative Suite Standard version. The premium version includes both GoLive *and* Dreamweaver according to the “Features” grid on the Creative Suite page.

I still use GoLive over DW any day, but this news is deeply depressing.

In the past I actually used to develop ColdFusion websites in GoLive with a free code plug-in and you know what it did a hell a lot better than DW did, and most of the CF developers avoided DW like the plague. So here’s hoping that that GoLive stays.

I have been using GoLive before Adobe purchased it, that’s how long I have been using it. Halleuah!!!
