You'll be please to see that Adobe just today released a public beta of the next version of Dreamweaver!

i’m used to golive since cs2 and skipped cs3 due to euro pricing.
so i was happy to get golive9 (strato webhoster-bundle-version) for 12 Euro on (german) ebay (there are more still on sale).

i will switch to dw as soon as cs4 is available, though. and since i saw the “inside the dreamlabs” episodes on adobe tv about some killer dw cs4 features, i’m really looking forward to it!

The only times I opened GoLive was by accident and I gave it a try, but it was the most horrible program (as far as UI & workflow were concerned) I’ve ever used. No wonder Dreamweaver ‘won’ and GoLive has been put to rest.

Let’s hope they don’t make it too GoLive-ish but some more visual integration with the rest of the Creative Suite wouldn’t hurt Dreamweaver.

I happened to stumble across GL9 when I upgraded to CS3. And since I’ve been a GL user since it was CyberStudio, I bought it in hopes of prolonging the inevitable — I’m still prolonging. In fact, I still use GL 8 (CS2).

Anyway, bidding starts at $100.

Now, when will PageMaker join the ranks of ‘discontinued’ along with such greats as Adobe Type Manager Deluxe?

Wow, John, I feel just the opposite. I hope that DW doesn’t grow to look to more like GL. I’ve used both and so much prefer DW’s interface.

DW needs some serious help in the GUI interface department. It is horrible in that regard. GoLive was so much easier to use, the palettes, windows, etc. could be adjusted for width, and on and on. I always used both at the same time (because earlier GL did not have the check in/check out function that DW did), so when I switched full time to DW, it wasn’t a huge deal. But boy, if DW could get a real upgrade, unlike CS2 > CS3 (that’s a joke.), and grow some user functionality, I’d be happy as heck.

I bet that people will be unloading their old copies on ebay now that GL is end of the line.

Rats! I’ve I’d known GoLive 9 was available I would have bought it, and now it’s too late! As it is, I’m using the old GoLive CS2 and the design standard version of CS3 (without Dreamweaver, which I don’t like).

Is there anywhere I can buy GL9 now that I know it exists?

I’ve known GoLive since it was still owned by… GoLive (remember that?).
I used it in the latest version (I realy liked it). Sad to hear, I was a bit of GoLove fan (it was easy to use), never cared much for DW. But, live goes on…
