I have been playing with Muse for a couple months now. This product seems geared toward designers like myself: traditional print designers who are used to InDesign and don't know enough to design and code a website by themselves. It's based on master pages and widgets to add menu systems (auto updating based on pages) and other kinds of content. HTML is cut and paste (fucking unbelievable) to add things like YouTube videos and Google Maps (among other things), and it's a true WYSIWYG design.
I have been reading a lot about Muse and how it is being received by our industry. Web gurus absolutely hate it, saying it creates sloppy code, but it seems like they're really just mad that designers don't need to use them. It's hard to tell, but for me it's a godsend.
Within a couple of hours I had 3 entire website concepts in a single document using master pages to define each. Anchored objects, interactive everything, quick previews in Adobe Content Viewer or ANY browser of your choice, and really, really fun and simple and powerful to use.
I know most people here will rip it apart, saying it's not "real" web design, but I actually think it's brilliant.
