Studio First Thoughts
I downloaded the new Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash last night and have had some pretty good opportunities today to use DW and Fireworks.
Regarding the previous post about folks bashing Fireworks, I’m not in agreement. They were obviously doing some things with Flex that I’m not doing, but Fireworks suits me very well and I do not feel like the product seems neglected, although there is not much new there.
Dreamweaver feels like it has gotten some much needed love on the macintosh. Parts of it feel a bit more native, the tabs are fantastic and I think that the file transfers seem a little snappier. That said, I have also had it hang on several file transfers and have resorted to force quitting and relaunching DW. I hope that I can figure out what causes this and avoid it in the future. I look forward to trying out the style sheet features in it, as well as the XML and XSL features.
