RE: GoLive vs. Dreamweaver

["Rick Bishop" <bishopr -at- jcdc -dot- jobcorps -dot- org>]

As a Web administrator of 14 sites and 50,000 pages, I literally cringe when I see anything made in Front Page.  I know there will be helpdesk calls with problems encountered in these pages, not to mention slow-loading or no-loading. It's sometimes simpler to clean up the pages myself than to explain the potential problems to the 'author.'  FP is touted as "Super Easy", and "Anyone can make a commercial site."  Nothing could be further from the truth. I use and appreciate most MS products, but not this one.

Stik w/Dreamweaver  Nothing is perfect but it comes closer than most. If you have problems with massive replacements, use ReplacEm, Hutmil or NoteTab lite. 1st page 2k is ok, but is often

Best of all is to download a free trial of each of your finalists and use it seriously for a month. Then you won't have any difficulty deciding.

 either Dreamweaver or GoLive. Having never used either, I have no 
personal investment in a tool -- "good enough" is all I need. I'd kind 
of rather get GoLive, but not if it's still as unstable as the archives 
indicated in Jan 2003.
