>>>They are not the same thing and they are bundled together but HS has just
as much functionality, bells & whistles as DW. Have you used both?<<<
I have used both HomeSite and Dreamweaver. They perform many similar
functions in different ways, but I think we should be careful not to mislead
people who may be looking to spend money here. HomeSite is a programmer's
text editor with many tools not available to Dreamweaver, while DW is
primarily a WYSIWYG environment.
Which of those a given designer prefers is probably highly dependant upon
that designer....different people relate to the world in different ways.
Some people need a visual environment to do their best work, while others
need to conceptualize the work through a text interface. This is probably
what makes it so hard for each camp to understand the other's viewpoint.
I personally prefer Dreamweaver for beginning design formatting and
small-medium site management...including templates. I use EditPlus for
Perl, and sometimes PHP and often JavaScript. I also use HTML-Kit (free and
quite full of tools and extras) for HTML hand coding and PHP coding.
Know what? Works for me...:)
