yatesy's Full Review: Adobe Dreamweaver 4.0 Full Version for Mac (DWM40D...
I have a very small web design company and recently I came into ownership of a graphite ibook so I thought I would pick up a copy of Dreamweaver for it. Why? I use it on my PC for web design and I love it. It didn't even occur to me that the program might be diffrent then on the PC. Duh. Well, I installed the program and was pleasantly reassured that, yes, it was, for the most part an exact port of the PC version.
However, I am sure you people reading this want to know more then just that it is the Mac version of Dreamweaver. This program is very cool on its own.
The best new thing in version 4 is these buttons under the menu at the top. One click gives you a split screen of code and graphic layout. It rocks. In version 3 you could sort of do that with a menu command but now you can pop back and forth with the 3 buttons. One makes it split, one shows just code and one just graphical layout. If you do alot of twiddling with your websites and need to do both code work and graphical layout work, this will make you dance for joy!
They also still have the Exchange, where you can download little extras for Dreamweaver like a menu builder or a banner flasher and have it automatically install itself and set itself into the little menus that float around the page you are working on.
The one very aggravating thing about dreamweaver is that it is forever screwing with table sizes. I do alot of work with tables and I have almost cried when I opened a file that had screwed up tables after I just spent 4 hours the day before fixing everyhting. This is a big flaw but if you don't use alot of tables, you might not even notice it.
Out of all the WYSIWYG editors out there like GoLive, Dreamweaver just cannot be beat.
