Dreamweaver interface irritating

[rickchapman]

I'd just to ask some other people if the find the Dreamweaver interface annoying. There are several things I find very crude.

When you create a

http://www.XXX.XXX

link in a page, you must type in the http:// in the object box. Programs like FP, HotMetal, etc. do this for you.

When you are editing a page, you can't jump to a link within a page, as far as I can tell.

In the site view, you can't drag and drop a page to create a new page a la NetObjects

Help is a mess. Using HTML files for your help system is slow and the index system is a joke.

There is a huge bug in Dreaweaver 4.0 that causes editing to begin to slow when a page hits 40K; by the time the page is up to 100K it's uneditable.

Any comments, suggestions, ideas?

Hi, There's an easy way to link to a pg within Dreamweaver. Simply select the link in your document and choose Modify-Open Linked Page... Hope that helps some.

Dreaweaver beats GoLive again. When MX is out there will be no comparison - Macromedia will be light years ahead.

It looks like the Flash/Dreamweaver/Fireworks MX package is going to be killer. Now if they could just get Freehand to catch up to Illustrator.

Peace
