    Macromedia's web centric software is unstable, (IMHO) appallingly designed, inconsistent and very hard to learn.

    Who in their right mind cant learn Dreamweaver? Shit, is there a product with more free tutorials online, with sites devoted to teaching how to use the tool? How many books have been written about Dreamweaver?

    Now, I understand if you are some kind of FrontPage jerkoff who has never tried to hand code HTML or CSS to begin with but get real, buddy.

    For as bad as you say it is, most of you would give a testicle to have a Linux version of the product, because there really aint nothin better.

    I drive a manual shift car too, by the way.

    or to paraphrase:

    Look at me! I'm uber-cool super l33t smarter than all you plebes! Look at me! Look at me!

    Nobody gives a shit what kind of car you drive, stop trying to prove your dick is bigger than everybody else's. We all know better.
