Adobe discontinues GoLive “Adobe has discontinued sales and development of its Web design software GoLive in favor of Dreamweaver, which it acquired as part of its Macromedia purchase.

(Via MacCentral.)

As I’ve said before, don’t count any application in or out in Adobe’s eyes if they have a competing product offering. But back in March 2006, Adobe did say they plan to continue to support GoLive and FreeHand. Continuing to support and continuing development are two very different things.

I’ll miss the web development application that I cut my teeth on. I remember GoLive when it was GoLive CyberStudio. I just threw out all those manuals last year. Sure, Dreamweaver had a lot more features when it came to coding but GoLive definitely had a more accessible interface and visual design tools. R.I.P. GoLive. You helped me a lot back in the day.
