GoLive or Dreamweaver?

I'm looking to start developing a webpage for my portfolio. I have an idea of where i want to get hosted at, but i am still looking

Anyway which program is easier to use Dreamweaver or Adobe's GoLive? and which one do you prefer. I already have a copy of Dreamweaver, but haven't played around with it to learn it so to speak

If you have to use one of those two, then Dreamweaver is the way to go...especially since you already have a copy. MX 2004 is the best version to use. Personally, I usually prefer BBEdit (or similar ones like skedit, jedit, etc.), but that's me. If you already have a good foundation in HTML/XHTML, why waste the rescources on a more complicated program like DW or GoLive?

mdnky is right. I use Dreamweaver when I have to. For PHP or anything other than html i use BBedit. Forget Go-Live, its crap.

There are plenty of decent low-cost/free options out there but if you are picking between Dreamweaver and GoLive then Dreamweaver is hands down the way to go.

Dreamweaver is the industry standard, and is (probably) a more powerful tool for designers with little interest in hand coding (more GUI support for server-side scripting, etc.), but I quite like using GoLive myself.

Can anybody tell me why Adobe ditched the dynamic bindings palette? .... Seems like a rather stupid thing to do!

I used GoLive from the beginning and am now only using Dreamweaver. Too many problems with GoLive that even Adobe was not aware of if talking to their technical division is any clue.

Dreamweaver problem

Lately I have been getting this message..."The desired action could not be completed because an unexpected HTTP error occurred. (HTTP Error 100)."
And also this message.."An error occurred-cannot put index.html."
I am using IDisk (.Mac) and everything worked great until just last month when this started coming up...the strange thing is the updating still seems to work and the webpage has taken the upload. Anyone out there seen this before? Thanks.
