Quote by RahXephonIt looks like the most people here prefer DreamWeaver over Frontpage...
Frontpage being more noob-friendly and DW being more powerful. I find
it odd that most of u use Dreamweaver, but use Photoshop instead of one
of Macromedia's other program, Fireworks. I use Macromedia Dreamweaver,
Fireworks and Flash.
Fireworks is actually a ripoff of Photoshop and Macromedia got sued for it. But in reality Photoshop is 10x more powerful then Fireworks.

Actually, I'd say Fireworks is more like a rip-off of ImageReady ^^ It's not bad for compressing stuff (barely any better than IR tho). The only time I would ever use it is if I need to make a bunch of GIF's or something where the only difference was in the text... there was a neat way to do this in FireWorks I remember... maybe IR can do it now too tho. Given that's its only strong point, why would people use Fireworks over Photoshop? A bad investment of learning time, if you ask me. Photoshop skills you can take to practically any company.
I'd recommend dreamweaver over frontpage, even for newbies, tho. Dreamweaver is NOT that hard to use... I mean, it does basic things just as well (easily?) as frontpage (admittedly I haven't use fp since fp 2000 tho). If you're doing more advanced stuff, like menus or css, yea, its more difficult in dreamweaver... but in frontpage, the only advanced stuff you can do is that pre-packaged ms crap (frontpage-specific extensions, etc.). Get a book about HTML and CSS, get dreamweaver, and just be a better person in life ^^ Obviously, in the long-run, going with dreamweaver will pay-off.
ps: also, there's adobe golive, which nobody's mentioned (maybe cuz its been discontinued), but you can pick up copies on eBay fairly cheap, I imagine. I started with GoLive, because I was more comfortable with ADobe than Macromedia stuff, but at a certain point switched over. While GoLive is inferior to Dreamweaver, it is still a lot better than FrontPage, imho. Doesn't much with your source code unnecessarily, and is a little better suited to graphically-oriented designs (altho the code it makes uses too much floating layers and stuff for my taste).
Yep macromedia is sooo much better ^.^
i am a very hardcore web designer (like 7 years experience) and I always used
Frontpage but Macromedia really free my mind ^o^
FrontPage 2003 is really nice, I use it a lot since I am too lazy to learn html. I have used Dreamwaver before and I'm sure its better but I never got used to it so I couldn't get into it.
