Existing users, 
iWeb is wonderfully wysiwig and especially in placing and sizing figures is far superior to RapidWeaver.
iWeb does not do drop-down menus. Though recommended by an Apple store rep, RapidWeaver doesn't really do drop-down menus either. It looks like it does at first, but it gets two things wrong that make it unuseable. 1) The top menu that pops up the pull-down must implement a link. 2) The drop-down menu text headers word wrap after only 22 characters. Also, drop-down menus are impossible to find in the RapidWeaver documentation.
I told RealMac about these problems in version 4.2.1, but here in version 4.2.3 the problems still persists. So there is no reason to spend money on RapidWeaver when free iWeb does everything else better.

drop-down menus, wysiwyg figs - Phil St. Romain
Fwiw, iWeb is not free. If you buy a Mac then iLife is pre-loaded, but any updates going forward will not be free.Sunday, September 06 2009 @ 02:32 PM PDT
Your Comment Utter Rubbish - Jeff Mincey
iWeb does EVERYTHING else better? This is rubbish. iWeb is a fine product for its niche but it does not have nearly the power or flexibility of RapidWeaver. You cherry-pick two functions -- one of which iWeb itself doesn't do either, by your own admission -- and in your mind this means RapidWeaver is not worth spending money on. This "logic" of yours is an example of "blunt-instrument thinking" at its worst.Reply to This
