I've never seen dreamweaver "rearrange" any code whatsoever and I use it in code view for nearly 45 hours a week.

Ive never ever seen dreamweaver rearange code, although it can be annoying when it finished your tags for you, biut I think the average user would find that usefull and if it really bothereed me that much id turn it off..

That's because you use it in code view

If you add elements using the design view then it formats (indents, etc) the newly entered code, and can affect the surrounding code.

The only time I've seen it do it is in situations like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var dd = <%# Procedure1.FieldValue("c_dow", Container) %>;
if (dd == '7') {
document.write("<tr class=\"weekend\">");
}
else if (dd == '1') {
document.write("<tr class=\"weekend\">");
}
else {
document.write("<tr>");
}
</script>*<td>

* - Extra <tr> sometimes inserted here.

Nah, I'll stick with Vi thanks I use dreamweaver to maintain templates, I really must find some alternative for that, perhaps some combination of grep and sed in a shell script :thoughtful:

Great Adobe software is such bloated crap, everything I run made by Adobe takes an age to start up.

hmmmm... i do like the products from both companies there are certain prodcuts from prefer from each company... been using dreamweaver since version 4... currently using mx2004... and photoshop cs is great too... I wonder if Adobe will go down the router of attempting to try and combine the similar products now... i can see the dodgey names, Photoshopworks.. Dreamweaver Live, Freehand Illustrator....

Photoshop is far and away THE best program in it's class, and that's not just me saying it, that's probably every graphic designer worth his salt worldwide. The latest version takes around 6 seconds to load on my machine, perhaps you should sort whatever second rate hardware you're running it on out and try it again?

I've never used Photoshop but I am fairly experienced in Premiere Pro, it's the best video editing app I've ever used.
