5. Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
Editors' rating: 7.8
The good: Adobe Dreamweaver CS3's interface will be familiar to users of previous versions; improved CSS capabilities; good integration with other CS3 applications; universal binary for both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs.
The bad: Dreamweaver CS3's Spry framework features should be tested for compatibility; browser compatibility check requires an Internet connection; update is not a groundbreaking move forward; lack of intuitive design spells woe for Web design newbies.
The bottom line: Dreamweaver CS3's universal binary alone could make the upgrade worthwhile for some users, and improved CSS plus new Spry features will be welcome to pros, but that's not a lot of advances for the steep price.
