Straight Edge Life: Software - Dreamweaver MX 2004

previous | next

I take back everything I said about Dreamweaver in my last review. Well, I won't take it back about MX, as Dreamweaver MX really does still have more serious problems than a camel has fleas. But MX 2004 is a completely different story. Let me count the ways...

1. CSS support up the ying yang.
2. SFTP.
3. Speed.
4. Stability.
5. Improved Javascripting.
6. Improved tempates.
7. Improved interface.

I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface here, and I may do a more complete review of Dreamweaver MX 2004 at a later date. For now, let's just say that DWM MX 2004 is a hell of a lot better than MX on Mac OS X. It's faster, far more stable and has a number of important new features and improved standards support that, in my mind, put it back in the lead of WYSIWYG html/css/xhtml/javascript editors on the market today. I almost lost faith with MX. MX 2004 is far better.


Rating for Dreamweaver MX 2004: 9 / 10

Unless otherwise noted, all software reviewed on SXEL is for Mac OS X (Jaguar and Panther). Although there is a very, very slim chance that what I say about one product on OS X might apply to the same product on Windows or Linux, it's not likely.
