The problem now is that Dreamweaver and Photoshop don't get along backstage the way Photoshop and GoLive did.
No more "Smart Objects" from Photoshop, Illustrator, or Acrobat into Dreamweaver pages.
Worse, Dreamweaver seems to have lost its faithful "little buddy" Fireworks which co-starred with Dreamweaver for many seasons.
This leaves Dreamweaver with an uneasy pairing with Photoshop. Neither application will be terribly happy with the other.
I've been comparing working with Dreamweaver and Photoshop as wearing a sneaker on one foot and a dress shoe on the other. Both are terrific shoes. But they don't look good or work well together.

Adobe is not killing off its own children. Nothing is dead yet. The kid being sent to the closet is only a foster child. Adobe bought that kid some time ago too.

Adobe had better get Illustrator to play better with Flash before killing off it's half brother FreeHand. (Have you tried pasting a complicated illustration from Illustrator into Flash lately?) I am sticking with FreeHand 11 until that happens.
Adobe continues to act like the blind capitalist mastodonth it has become: buying competition, killing its own children, with one single objective: to get to a comfortable monopolistic state and to grab even more of our money
There are a lot of better and easier choices for the "low end" of the web design market, Softpress Freeway being one (though I don't consider it "low end.")
Adobe would be better off integrating whatever is good about GoLive into DW and being done with it.

Love the analogy
Fun analogy of the applications to TV stars.
I agree that Dreamweaver is the big star.

RPinsec does not seem to like the business world :)

Demise of FreeHand
