wampthing Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Just curious to see if anyone is using the newest version of Dreamweaver (8). Is it worth the $ for the newest version? I am currently using MX (version 6). any input will be richly rewarded with fine jewels and precious stones.

Deverill Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Nope, not me. Three reasons: 1. I'm using Linux more and there is a free program named Screem that does a good job of web editing. 2. I'm doing a LOT more with CSS now so it's easier to edit straight html by hand without all those pesky tags in the way and I know how to do it so it makes sense. 3. I'd not pay that much for an upgrade with the company being bought by Adobe until I see what they do with it -- even if I was going to go forward with it. I am looking forward to "version 9" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Loaded question. Is 6 doing all you want it to do? Is the upgrade in your budget? It is sort of like me asking if natural peanut butter tastes good. Do they have a trial? If so, can you install it and not remove 6? Just as beauty is in the eye of the beerholder and so will the answers be to your question. Oh yeah, I am using Linux, code by hand, not gonna pay that much for Adobe products and cant wait for version 19. Other than that, I like it and think you should go for it. This message has been brought to you by "Can You Tell I Am Tired?". Seriously, I would see if I can find a place that lists the changes made from MX to 8 and see if you would even use it.

abinidi Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Sorry. I haven't yet upgraded my Dreamweaver 4. Because it does what I need it to when I need it done. I did like Dreamweaver MX that we used at work. But I kept 4 at home. Maybe I'll buy a copy of MX 2004 on eBay, since they'll probably be cheaper now...

MindSlayerSauces Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I am one of those nuts who have upgraded to version 8. I was previously on MX. I have noticed some changes in the layout and some new features, but overall it works about the same. I will mention that it does seem to work a little faster. The one feature I do like is the ability to highlight lines of code and compact them. I do all my CSS with Topstyle so the new CSS features in 8 are completely unknown to me. Overall from what I’ve seen and done on Version 8, I’d have to say it’s worth the few bucks it cost. There’s nothing worse than trying to find extensions for an old version when all you can get are ones made for the newer version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
