I'm curious as to what software you guys use for doing webpages? Personally, I've been with GoLive since it first came out (the CyberStudio days). Others swear by Dreamweaver, BBEdit, a plain text editor etc.

It's called saving time I have better things to do, I don't like to spend all my time typing code all day. I use to do all my pages with a text editor but no point in that when I can do it easier with Dreamweaver MX. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

if you're doing simple pages sure. i never liked the code that DreamWeaver generated.
and then when you get into complex scripting, server side includes, PHP, SQL, and all that, DreamWeaver really sucks.
if i've got to go back and edit the code, i might as well be there from the get go.
give me BBEDit any day.
all said, i've found i work faster in BBEdit. could just be me.
I used Dreamweaver MX until my free trial ended. Now I'm back to using Dreamweaver 4 because I can't afford to buy MX right now. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
I'd wager that the folks who are bragging about BBEdit and the other text editors aren't doing graphic-intensive websites. But if anybody cruising this thread thinks that they can be a good web-designer WITHOUT knowing how to jump into the code with an app like BBEdit is full of crap. It's a great piece of software.
I use GoLive for the typical reason, I wanted something that worked well with my other Adobe Apps and I liked the interface. I've used Dreamweaver, for about two days and needed longer to digest the interface. I'm not going to bash it, I just needed longer with it...which isn't going to happen now unless Macromedia decides to sponsor me.
I don't expect to see any great improvements when I trade up to 6.0, but I've become very fascile in GoLive and don't expect I'll change web editors anytime soon.
here's a site I designed recently in GoLive for somebody who sells
<a href="http://www.elliottboswell.com"; target="_blank">paintings of wine bottles</a> and such. The only thing I had to do by hand was working on the .htaccess file and chmod'ing some stuff with Fetch 4. The rest was done in GoLive. There are still some things to update and tweak, but it's up live and running.

I've never used anything else really so now I'm kinda stuck with it. It suits me fine though.
J :cool:
BBEdit
On the PC:
Notepad
and prefer the classical plain text editors... as long as i know what i'm doing...
I'm serious! Just hit command-shift-v to bring up the editor for the current page. It has great syntax coloring and highlighting. I love it!
WYSIWYG my ass.
OmniWeb.

Amen! However on the PC side check out Editpad lite. Not as nice as BBEdit, but much better than notepad.

Fair enough.
I actually think BBEdit is the single, greatest application on my machine. It is always the app that stops my thoughts of "switching" to the PC
