Just been messing around with Golive CS2 (after using DW for years), it seems faster looks a lot better and is capable of much more accurate previews.

Am I missing something, why is Dreamweaver meant to be so much better?

From my experience with GoLive, it messes up code it doesn't understand, Dreamweaver doesn't.

If you create your entire site in GoLive all is well. But if you bring in any code it doesn't understand from other programs, or hand-written - GoLive seems to often change it without even telling you.

You might want to take a look at NVU which should be officially released (1.0) this week.

I've always found GoLive to be really unintuitive for some reason. Not really sure why. Plus Dreamweaver always seems to spit out marginally better code. Even for someone as inexperienced and awful as me!

I'm so used to DW that I find it hard moving to anything else. Still... I've given it (GL) a bash on numerous occasions only to run back to DW after being overwhelmed by it's interface.

Ditto.

stuffing feathers up your b*tt doesn't make you a chicken.
