CMS is not viable for all projects. I've been using Dreamweaver since the hay-days of Macromedia and like any program it is just that - Garbage In Garbage Out ! If you want tailor-made ready to customize solutions I'm sure there are millions of options out there. Next time please don't waste the time of other readers looking for vaible solution. And what exactly is Web 2.0 ??? The writer has no clue about web development. CMS is not viable for all projects.

Whilst we use Joomla for many sites that we create, it is December 2011 and I estimate 75% of the sites we create are done so using Dreamweaver CS4. To be fair most of our clients are looking for very simple sites (5-10 pages) so on this scale we still think DW suits our needs best. Interesting article thought!

For a developer or site builder to use CMS's is much more pain than using the true tools of web design, as dreamweaver. A CMS is an application, that solves a certain problem, like online stores, blogs, but what you do when you want a complete NEW and UNIQUE design ? Do you start learning a CMS and remain dependent on it and beg the developers to do some tools, learn that tool, just to solve a problem ? I believe and from my experience, that CMS's bring more problems than they solve, when you want to create something unique. They are very limiting and in the process of adapting them, you rather learn how to hack, than how to create something properly. Is like, instead of building a car int he factory, you would get an old one and try to tune it, in the end spending more for it, than for a new one and and it's still an old car int he end, limited to what used to be it's purpose, when created. CMS's are for lazy, mainly ignorant "developers", when they use them extensively, I think. A true developer and a true design is made from scratch, with tools like Dreamweaver. Cms's are for blogs, ecommerce and limited stuff, but for unique design you need to know the stuff and that stuff is put to practice in Dreamweaver, so we should rather see some cms's stop being developed, than Dreamweaver or MS tools.

How about this... perhaps for many of use seasoned designers / developers, Dreamweaver is but one of many tools at our disposal. As it should be. Agree wholeheartedly with John.

Makes me wonder if 90% of the respondents have any idea what they're talking about. Good thing people that do know what they're doing still use powerful, well designed tools like Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver is an absolutely brilliant program that competent web designers and programmers understand how to use to create clean, efficient code and robust sites with complex functionality. It serves a different purpose than CMS and Blogs, which are often horribly bloated code-wise, and can be nightmarishly complex to maintain. It's such a brilliant and powerful program when used properly that I find it difficult to take any author that would write something like this seriously.
