Golive creates small HTML files, another problem with all you PHP bastards, PHP, SHTML, EHTML etc... is that you can't let there be easy, Most websites that use PHP are just like Microsoft and MacWarehouse sites. Horrible, infact this is the only good site I know that uses PHP3.

First of all - all HTML files ARE small. How can a plain text file built anywhere be a "big" file? I think you mean "clean". Golive writes "cleaner" code because it likes to rewrite code. DW puts a yellow flag where it thinks there's a problem and lets you take care of it - without rewriting. Personally, I love the fact that Golive is taking the initiative in getting this product over to OSX. Why? It's good for competition. Now others will follow suit - only making it better for us and that's what it's all about...
I must admit, Golive is superior in one area - and that's for building frames. I find the DW method for frames total ********* - I still haven't figured out the logic behind it. However, with PHP, there's really no need for frames if you use include functions. Like Foocha said - both apps have strengths and weaknesses...
When you mention "PHP Bastards" - I have to wonder what it is you are using as a middleware app. Cold Fusion, ASP, Lasso?
Or quite possibly you have not seen the need for using dynamic pages and databases on the web. Funny to see you using a site that relies so heavily on PHP when you are against those who build with it...
And trilogic, ever think Tors was joking around a little bit? Step away from the box for a couple hours and go rent the movie "Office Space". Lighten up children. I do like your idea of heading over to the Frontpage forum! LOL!
