Changed to Dreamweaver CS3 from Nvu

Posted by skywalker on Tue, 09/04/2007 - 18:49Personal

That's right, after getting Adobe CS3 I have started using Dreamweaver on the Mac instead of Nvu, which can be quite a pain due in part to its unmaintained codebase and lack of a universal binary.

Thus, you may be seeing different code being posted from Sep 07 onwards, but validation still passes, and what you see with web browsers should remain the same.

So far, Dreamweaver seems a charm, the lack of crashes and CSS problems which had plagued me should now be a thing of the past.

Official development seems frozen, but because it is open source, the community has started maintaining it. The name is different and several bugs are fixed, other than that, it is the same software:

Personally I hate WYSIWYG

Personally I hate WYSIWYG (X)HTML/CSS editors.

I write my code manually in EditPlus and this way I can see how my code actually works and make sure it's valid too.

Usually the WYSIWYG editors are optimized to one browser (Fx only, IExploder only etc) which forces the user to use a specific browser.

As long as my code is valid and works on common standard browsers (Sorry IE, You're NOT a standard.) it's fine.

Nvu had a lot of potential but then the devs just stopped after 1.0

I too have gone back to Dreamweaver for my development purposes.
