Hi,
I've been using my Dreamweaver MX for a couple of years now and while I am quite happy with it, the program seems to be getting a bit buggy and has crashed a few times. Now the "new" and shiny Dreamweaver 8 is looking quite appealing.
So, is it worth it to upgrade? I believe it is $199?
Can anyone give me some sound feedback?

Thanks!

I would say it is not. You shouldn't need the visual parts of dreamweaver anyways to design.

I still think MX is a very good option. As long as it does the job (and it really does the job), I wouldn't spend money on the upgrade

Indeed, the differency is, as far as i can see, only in the looks of the program itself... so a pure waste of money :(

That is truly all the programs do now is look prettier. In all honesty it is hard to find what you want because you are used to the old look and layout.

Its got a pretty nifty CSS feature etc you can collapse lines of code etc - well worth the $199 IMO

Alot of new features and a better interface as well.

But if you hard code everything I don't see why you would need to upgrade it. So collapsing codes is worth $200!?

I was asking if that was the only difference besides looks.
