You might not have noticed if you wandered by Adobe.com recently, but Adobe just shipped GoLive 9–the much-anticipated (for some of us) update for what some consider the best Web authoring tool around. True, Adobe dropped GoLive from the Creative Suite 3, but many GoLive users are hoping to stick with this great program.
If you prefer Dreamweaver, then please don’t bother sharing your flames here; just go ahead and keep using it. But if you’re a GoLive user or you’re a design professional who wants to build sites without having to constantly dip into HTML or CSS code, then you owe it to yourself to check out this new version. I’m excited about many of the new features, including the ability to lay out Web pages using a much more “page layout”/InDesign user interface. In fact the UI is so much like InDesign that it’s really easy to work with even if you’ve never used the program before.
The irony that GoLive 9 is far more like a Creative Suite 3 app than Dreamweaver CS3 is poignant to those of us who wish this program were in the Suite (alongside Dreamweaver).
GoLive 9 is available new for US$399 or as an upgrade for $169. I’m not sure of the non-US prices… perhaps someone can post those below.
