As a small-time GoLive user I've got something to add. Dreamweaver is a
recognized standard and superior to FrontPage. When GoLive 6 came out
it basically caught up to Dreamweaver in terms of functionality,
stability & ease-of-use. That was Adobe's big thing for 6 ... "We're as
good as Dreamweaver!"
Now, Dreamweaver MX is out ... that prob'ly pushes GoLive back again
but it is still an excellent app. It's interaction with PhotoShop, Illy
& AfterEffects is terrific. AND there is one feature called Components
that nobody else has that is absolutely terrific.
If you have text and images that you want to repeat on every page in
your site (such as a navigation bar with lots of image buttons and page
links), you can save them as a single source file called a component .
By dragging the component's icon from the Objects palette (essentially
a library), you can reuse the component on any page. Components on a
page remain linked to their source files, so they're automatically
updated when you modify the source.
From a documentation POV, this is good stuff.
