Is dreamweaver 8 better than dreamweaver CS3?

Answer 1

AnswerDreamweaver CS3 is the latest version of Adobe Dreamweaver. This is the most popular Web design program among professional Web designers and the latest version adds enhancements to CSS support and a new Spry Framework that makes it easier to create AJAX features with Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver 8 was the version prior to CS3. Dreamweaver 8 was owned by Macromedia but Adobe purchased the program and changed the name from Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 to Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with the new version. Previous versions of Dreamweaver, in reverse order: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, Dreamweaver MX 2004, Dreamweaver MX, Dreamweaver 4, 3, 2, and 1.

However, newer is not necessarily better. Some features of Dreamweaver 8 have been left out of the newer version, which arguably make it a less good choice for some. It really depends what you are using it for, and whether you need the new features in CS3.
