Before I made the complete switch (I don't have a single system that runs Windows anymore), I used and loved Dreamweaver. In fact, it was one of the things that kept me back from switching. But as Brian Astill said, it doesn't help you learn what you're doing, it's basically a crutch. If you learn it [HTML/CSS] right, and start off writing yer code by hand, then you'll be far ahead of a vast majority of the so-called "designers" nowadays. I don't recommend vim immediately, for the learning curve is rather steep. Add that to the (apparent) difficulty most people have when starting off with HTML, and you'll only get frustrated. Try nano (NOT EMACS), gedit, or {insert command-line based editor}. I'm saying you should use a command-line based editor for a reason, it's because once you become familiar with the cli utilities, it'll make it far easier to ssh into your remote server and edit something live, instead of having to repeat the process my windows-savy boss has to do multiple times every day. 1) Open FTP Client (For some reason, he doesn't like explorer's functionality) 2) Connect to server 3) Navigate in the (commonly) clumsy interface to the directory you want to upload to 4) Download the file(s). 5) Make appropriate modifications 6) Re-upload! Compared to the process that i have to do to make a modification: 1) Connect to server (SSH, of course) 2) Navigate to the directory of the file to modify 3) Make appropriate modifications with favorite editor (vim <3) <div>On 5/2/07, debiani386 <<a href="mailto:debiani386@gmail.com">debiani386@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Brian Astill wrote: > On Thursday 03 May 2007 06:59, Joshua Kogut wrote: > >> Whoah. debiani386, this is an Ubuntu list, and as such, >> Dreamweaver is woefully inadequate for two reasons: >> 1.
