battle of wysiwyg: MacroAdobea v. Microsoft

October 21st, 2006

I don’t use Dreamweaver. I’m not really a fan of wysiwyg editors. I write all my code either by hand, or using syntax highlighting with GNU Emacs (hooray for open source!). But interestingly, today I heard from the PWD Podcast that Microsoft is coming out with their own version of Dreamweaver: Expression. I’m hoping for a browser-war-style contest where both sides of the force push each other to creating some neat new technologies. It’s good to see some competition with heavy-weights such as Adobe, even if it is competition from Microsoft.

The beta of MS-Expression is currently downloadable for free, but only exists for people running Windows XP. I use a Mac, so this won’t even affect me, I’m just passing the word along. I suppose I’ll keep using good ‘ole emacs for now…
