Popularity of Dreamweaver

[Dr_Atomic]

Is Adobe's program Dreamweaver one of the most popular programs used to build webpages? Is there an "industry standard" used for page building? I know Microsoft has FrontPage, but I already have Dreamweaver, and I thought I'd use it as long as one can do really good things with it. It's complex, but I could always learn it.

Thanks.

I have only ever used dreamweaver and am a really big fan of it. I know a lot of people use it as well. Its a very popular program and keeps getting better. I'm currently using DW CS4.

I also recommend subscribing to lynda.com. They have a lot of great lessons on using dreamweaver, as well as plenty of other programs you may eventually run into.

Dreamweaver is pretty much the industry standard I think.

I used to use Frontpage alot and was a tad apprehensive about switching to DW, but I switched, and now I wouldnt go back to using FP. Currently use CS3.

Dreamweaver is over-rated and Frontpage sucks. Notepad++

Lol, yeah you can use notepad. But why make your life more difficult?

With Notepad there is no error checking, color coding, intellisense, auto completion....it just makes coding a little more cumbersome, imo.

Notepad++ has color coding and auto completion.
