I agree with your opinions on the Dreamweaver interface not matching the Golive UI - that's one of the things that will hinder the changeover in my case. I've figured now that I'll still use Golive until the release of CS4. Then hopefully a more integrated TRUE Adobe Dreamweaver may make an appearance.</p> Thanks for the reply.

My guess now is they give GoLive much the same treatment they've given PageMaker once InDesign arrived on the scene. Meaning that they will still offer it for sale and may do updates to it but it will not be officially considered part of the Creative Suite anymore. PageMaker, which was once marketed "the" page-layout tool, is now deemed the page layout tool for business users.</p> <p>Dreamweaver isn't all that bad. The UI is the thing that got to me the most and sadly it looks like the team didn't get around to updating Dreamweaver CS3 with the new Adobe UI found in everything else in CS3 (except for Fireworks). Dreamweaver definitely feels faster and more powerful than GoLive. I know I'm going to miss GoLive's Smart Objects (I do already). But I think Adobe made a critical bad decision not overhauling Dreamweaver's UI to feel more like an Adobe application. How else are you going to win the hearts and minds of longtime Adobe GoLive users if they're forced to use this very anti-Adobe UI? This just when GoLive was really starting to look and feel like the other Adobe applications in the suite.</p> <p>Although it may be still too soon to tell, GoLive might be one of the major casualties from the Macromedia merger — much like FreeHand seems to be. But FreeHand didn't seem to be getting much love from Macromedia in a while, anyways. I couldn't even get it to successfully run on my Intel-based Mac.</p> <p>I guess we can say GoLive may eventually come out though, since I did spy it on the new elemental, icon wheel that was released a couple of months ago.</p> Well Andrew, considering it can’t be found anywhere on the new roster of CS3 offerings, I’d have to say we shouldn’t expect the best for GoLive.

Dreamweaver isn’t all that bad.

I guess we can say GoLive may eventually come out though, since I did spy it on the new elemental, icon wheel that was released a couple of months ago.

However, it's now 2007 and I can't see GoLive CS3 coming out at all. If not, I will be very disappointed as It's taken me a while to learn. I've been hearing rumors for a while now that Dreamweaver is totally replacing Golive...is this true?</p> I’ve just looked at the Think Secret report just before I read this article.
