Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

A product from one of the most reputable - or so you should think - comapnies in the design business, Dreamweaver has been in an unacceptable state for the Mac for a long time.

It is RIDICULOUSLY slow at editing simple text in a webpage. Deleting, selecting, and rearrageing text chuncks can sometimes bring the app to a halt for 10-15 seconds, and ti has been like this for years! I've been using the app since version 3, and it has been this bad since version 4, at least!

It is clearly not optimized for teh new Intel Macs. Even though these new macs are at least 4 times faster than the old Macs i used Dreamweaver on, it STILL hangs for 20-25 secons when i first start it up,a nd it still is slow as a snail for common simple text manipulation.

I'm only *barely* recommending this app, because it's WYSIWYG features are the best there are in the world of WYSIWYG HTML editors.

Adobe (formerly Macromedia) should know that their coding and maintenance of this application is VERY CLEARLY UNACCEPTABLE! When you shell out loads of cash, you expect much more than this.
