			I've given up on Dreamweaver for Mozilla Mozilla strikes again! Dreamweaver MX has been a bit of a pain for me, so I've been giving Mozilla Composer more of a try and I think I like it. I don't do anything too complex, so it fits me well. Anybody else have similar experiences?

			I've given up on Dreamweaver for Mozilla I could never get into using Composer.. too bloated for my taste. I tend to like the lighter-weight apps, but really, I pretty much do all my web page creation in a text editor (other than flash stuff obviously).

			I've given up on Dreamweaver for Mozilla I used/continue to use composer that came with Netscape 4.7. The newer composer is just way too slow (or bloated). What exactly is it with MX that you don't like?

			I've given up on Dreamweaver for Mozilla Woohoo! Time to get some hair on your chest racketboy! No more of this "Can You Hold My Hand Please" HTML editing style for you! Back to the basics of td's and tr's and all the other wobbly bits. Use HTMLKit or notepad for the Real Experience .

			I've given up on Dreamweaver for Mozilla I like Dreamweaver only for it's multi-user web publishing abilities and web application awareness. Other than that the HTML it spits out dead sucks.

hehe -- I started using Notepad for HTML back in '97 on my 386.

I had to take it to school and open it in a web browser to see how it looked and then make changes.

I just use the visual stuff cause it's quicker

Still tweak code myself though.

Haven't notices the bloat of Composer on my box, but DW isn't exactly slim.

I was mostly getting annoyed by the publishing to the web part.

It worked pretty good until I moved the local location of my pages on my HD, then it got all confused.

			I've given up on Dreamweaver for Mozilla Im currently doing an internship for a local municipality.. and they did all of thre pages in front page.. and thats how they would like me to update it.. this is my first expericne with a visual html editor other than the free one that i used that came with netscape years ago. Its kinda nice how quick you can draw tables and what not.. but it sux that it tries to make everything double spaced.. and the fact that all the code is jumbled together making manual editing a real pain..

			I've given up on Dreamweaver for Mozilla FrontPage sucks it mangles your code and adds a bunch of proprientary crap. you'll be much hapier if you stay away from it

			I've given up on Dreamweaver for Mozilla Frontpage also has a nasty habbit of eating anything you manually add to the HTML code - especially PHP stuff. Possibly the worst product that MS has ever released.
