Dreamweaver has Competition - Webmaster Forum - Web Design and Development - SEO

Looks like it is in the form of Visual Web Developer, brought to us by Microsoft. OF course, for it to be truly competitive it needs to cost about 1/3 the cost of Dreamweaver, but its entry into the design arena brings new hopes of competition being a good think for consumers.

Has anyone tried this new tool out?

I haven't heard of Visual Web Developer before, so can't say I've tried them out. You have a link to a site with related information on them at all?

Personally I love Dreamweaver and it works wonders for me, never had any real problems with it. Luckily for me I get all my software for free to cost does not matter, but I can see how a 1/3 of the reg cost would be a competitive buy ;)

Sounds interesting. I have no interest in dreamweaver really its too expensive and not very userfriendly. I will stick to NVU just now until something sensible enters the market.

I have tried it.
It's OK I guess, but I still like dreamweaver more.
Maybe just because I'm already used to it, or maybe because it's really better.

But generally, I'm afraid Visual Web Developer will take over the market, simply because Microsoft is good at taking over markets.

Here is a link at ASP.net I haven't tried it because I am taking a break from doing things from scratch. But my curiosity is such that I will probably try it out before the week is over.

The program is outdated and has been combined into Expression Web Studio which replaced Frontpage. If you notice it says 2005 so it won't have the CSS upgrades or web 2.0 attributes.

I will most likely always like dream weaver the best. I have used it since it came out and will probably always continue to.

I am not thrilled with the last DW upgrade. I think they made it slight less user friendly.

It was the first link that I found doing a hit and miss search. I had seen an article on it that was much more recent but couldn't locate it...oh well.

It is a very easy to use tool. We can create great looking and easy-to-use Web applications using an intuitive, WYSIWYG, drag-and-drop user interface designer.
