I was using Pspad before which is pretty great.. But was jealous when I saw how cool CS4 looked.. So I installed it.. Everything is slow even though I have a quad core with GTX295, 4gb of 1066mhz ram etc etc.. So basically.. I was editing a live test site.. did a search and replace on all open documents.. It starts replacing and then trying to connect to server to search through the next document? I already have them open.. Why the crap is it re connecting to something I have already downloaded.. Anyway.. half way through it just gives up, starts chucking up errors.. Finally "Lost connection" and actually deleted the file it was stuck on.. Absolute bullcrap. Also CTRL + B to add strong tags.. sometimes doesnt work.. Have to goto keyboard shortcuts, then close it, then it works again.. Sometimes Ctrl + C selects all of the writing and copies everything.. No updates have been released yet.. its such a poor poor crap program. PSPAD is like 100000 x better and its free and has ftp and everything someone needs.. just looks boring as hell.

I'm a true believer in DW and CS3 is better than previous versions. It is a powerful tool for designers who are swamped with work. Especially designers swamped with work who are by any stretch of imagination programmers. That defines me. So I'm sticking with it, even though I use NotePad for quick edits. Not me, guys.

I can't seem to find the File Explorer in it. (?) The large-scale find/replace features in HTMLPad are roughly equivalent to Homesite. You know, I didn't mention it, but TopStyle was written by Nick Bradbury after he left Macromedia. It's good, but it seems to have stopped development too. Now Nick seems to work on FeedDemon exclusively. TopStyle hasnt had work on it in years. http://nick.typepad.com/blog/topstyle/index.html I have also been looking at Notepad++

I was a heavy DWmx user until recently, when it began crashing upon loading (even after a reinstall). Went back to using Homesite (which I had already been using for large-scale find-and-replace operations). Can't say I miss Dreamweaver. Now I'm going to check out HTMLPad. I feel you.
