man. dreamweaver and web dev sure is flashy now what with the divs and the collapsible code and the bootstraps and CSS.
in my day we made it with fucking tables and blinking fonts and you liked it.
- as someone who has earned a living from web dev pre/post tables I concur.fadein11

- I only ever use the code editor in dreamweaver scar - I would avoid its wysiwyg tools like the plague. Still applies to pretty much all web dev.fadein11
- @drgs - indeed. also remember that well. Still done in HTML emails until recently lol. new technology can be so backwards.fadein11
- yeah, for me chopped up images with iframes stuck in 'em were my go-to. now things are all responsive and fluid and lovelyscarabin
- fadein11 let me tell you a secret: there is a proper code editor in dw. I proved back in the day that you can sitebulild with that faster than any other editor.********
- of course today there are much better text editors than dw, but it's still an option.********
- @sted - eh? thats what I use every day - the code editor - was just saying avoid all the wysiwyg nonsense.fadein11
- ah you were agreeing with me... sorry - another time I misread something on here. yep I still use it because I cant be arsed to learn something new.fadein11
- the recent set of upgrades to DW actually bring it in line w/a number of editors people rave about... I think DW is great these days... use it all the timePonyBoy
- yep pony - editor does all I need.fadein11
- i've only been using the wysiwyg panel to find my spot in the code panelscarabin
- yep best thing to do. people used to slate DW because of the code the visual editor created which was true. but the editor is coolfadein11
