I am not sure if it was you or someone else, but there was a post about this a couple of weeks back. I have just put my money where my mouth is and ordered Dreamweaver 4 & Fireworks 4 Studio, together with Flash 5, quite pricey but hope it will pay for itself in time.

I had Frontpage 98 and 2000 previously, and that was a great program too, I guess you have to ask yourself what you want to do. I think Steve used or use to use Frontpage here, my current site is built using that so it does the job too, much cheaper, I just would like to upgrade to something abit more spectacular, I could pay someone here more than the programs have cost, and so figured why not have a go myself!

I'll let you know or show you how I get on!

The main thing I didnt like about FrontPage is that after you modify some HTML by hand, it takes it upon itsself to go back and modify your code.. I HATE that! FrontPage also employs some proprietary Microsoft crap that isnt compliant with the World Wide Web Consortium 3 (WWWC3) standards, which means alot of browsers arent completely compatible with your pages.

DreamWeaver doesnt modify your code (if you happen to do any of it manually like I do on occassion) and the way it manages/updates the files on your server is ingenious.. it checks the server and your computer for the latest version of a particular file, and updates the files both on the server and your machine. It also asks for confirmation before doing it so you can stop any unwanted files from being updated.

I havent used Adobe GoLive but I have used Adobe PageMill (why they have two different web authoring packages I'll never know). I like DreamWeaver better, although PageMill is fine.
