Hey there guys!

I guess this would be more in the lines of non-traditionalists who like to use those Macromedia/Front Page type programs to make websites (like me). Heh heh heh...

Anyway, have you guys seen these new programs coming out? I download all of the new demos last night for Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, and Cold Fusion and they look awesome!

Fireworks kept crapping out on me, but I think its because I have FW4 installed and put this into a different folder. Also, they must not have gotten all the bugs out.

Dreamweaver seems to be somewhat easier and faster to use due to the new layout.

However, one thing I DO NOT LIKE about these two programs is that they have taken up a lot more workspace with all of the windows and menus and such. Before, I could have a whole page viewable on my screen, but now, it is much more "blocked" by the menus and windows.

I will be getting Studio MX when it first comes out (Flash MX, Dreamweaver MX, Fireworks MX, Cold Fusion MX, and Freehand 10) and I will write up my whole thoughts.

If you have any thoughts or time to check out the demos, please let us know what you think! Since I dont know how to use Cold Fusion, Flash, or Freehand, perhaps you folks can let us know.

Thanks! :)
