I suppose now my employer can finally justify new versions being that we still use ID2 and Illus. 10. I am positively giddy at just the prospect of something more refined than the stone-age stuff I work with. As for new Flash, I am just now getting the hang of Flash 8 and I can’t see these penny pinchers springing for anything more than the design suite.

I’ve found CSSedit to be the best CSS tool out there. It’s simple and to the point. You can control the code very effectively, and the autocomplete is very snappy/intuitive.

At this point i wish DW was as good at HTML as CSSedit is at CSS. For example why do i always have to go “/>” at the end of any image or input tag. We all know by now that those tags use the self contained end tag…

“but better CSS support in DW could make it worth my dime”

Fixing the FTP on OSX would make it worth my time. I’m just tired of having to pay for bug fixes these days.

And CSS in DW has long enough that I’ve come up with enough workarounds by now anyways. ;o)

Of the Macradobe apps I use (namely Freehand, DW, PS and Fireworks these days), they all seemed to have peaked quality/usability-wise several versions back. Now they have more bugs and add-ons than quality feature enhancements it seems.

I think intel mac users certainly do need a new version of photoshop. I have been using the beta for some time and the interface feels very refined, makes cs2 feel downright clunky, especially on a smaller screen.

Create Digital Motion has a short writeup that cuts through some of the hype.

Yeah see everybody has their uses for these products, and I’m with you on the Photoshop, but better CSS support in DW could make it worth my dime.

Obviously preordering doesn’t make a lot of sense when you know you’ll be able to get your 30 days with all this for free as soon as it’s released and then you can decide what is worth upgrading and what isn’t.

For Flash users, I’m sure the new Flash is anticipated but, otherwise, do we really need yet another new version of Photoshop? DW has been fine for me for a few versions now. Etc…

Well, it looks interesting, but I’m going to wait until I can play with it until I really make some decisions. Honestly, the annoucement WRT Flash was nothing unexpected.

Photoshop Extended and after effects, on the other hand, look like something worth talking about, esp. since flash is now designed to take content from them a bit easier.
