Dreamweaver Is Dying; Long Live Drupal!

Posted by timothy on from the view-askew dept.

Barence writes "Here's an interesting blog post by a designer who reckons Dreamweaver is dying. It's not Dreamweaver's fault, though. Nor is the problem Adobe and its development team — the last Dreamweaver CS4 version was the most impressive release in years. Moreover, although Microsoft Expression Web poses a far more credible threat than FrontPage could muster, Dreamweaver remains the best HTML/CSS page-based editor available. The real problem for Dreamweaver and for its users is that the nature of the web is changing dramatically."

    If you think the MVC pattern belongs in a web application, maybe it's you who should stick to mockups.

    This isn't 1995. They're not desktop applications.

    Agreed... I can design pages, have in the past, but I am by no means a coder. I fucking hate coding, some of the most boring shit on the planet.

    This whole holier than thou attitude that oozes from these "web designers" really pisses me off. Oh, you can write a few lines of html or css or javasript, you must be a fucking god. Actually, no, you're not... you're just someone attempting to be a god but really you're just a boring fuck.

    Mod parent up if you have half a brain.
