The open source equivalent to dreamweaver is:
a text editor (vi, emacs etc)
the w3c recommendations for xhtml, css, dom level 1

"In my experience most people who call themselves creative intellectuals are neither"
In my experience, cynicism is the result of an unfulfilling life. Perhaps that's the result of having a shit job?
"In my experience most people who call themselves creative intellectuals are neither."
"Lazy more like!"

"The masses dont have an entrepreneurial spirit - and will have a better 'life' with a decent salary and a shit job than with no salary and a challenging startup to run (or fail to run)."
What people who are not categorised in "the masses"? Shit jobs stifle creativity and that makes people miserable - I don't see many happy managers from where I'm standing, just haggard stressed ones. It'd be more rewarding to live in a council house and sell dope than have a "shit job"
Sorry but ordering stock and bossing staff around doesn't cut it for me. Creative and intellectual people would probably be happier doing something creative like programming or starting *their own* business.
