Adobe Dreamweaver vs. CoffeeCup HTML Editor

This program is a must-have if you work in any HTML-based programs. It's convenient for HTML emails and tweaking code used in Wordpress. It's also greta for editing older PHP sites I manage for clients, I do not use it for new websites anymore as I feel other solutions are more suitable for my clients.

My typical use is to edit HTML and CFM pages from prior projects, and use them to create new ones. So, I rarely use the tools for designing pages provided in this application. I have found the ability to preview a page very useful. I am aware of numerous features in this editor, that simpler editors would not provide. It has proven to be a great fit for my use.

• Space - you have to download the software on your hard drive
• Cost - It's a monthly subscription and not open source
• RAM - You need enough RAM to run Adobe products, and if you don't have enough it will crash and you can lose hours of work.

Google Web Designer is what I used to use but Dreamweaver was better. Google did not offer the functionality I needed. Google was also messy and had limited design options. Google seems better for creating animated banners or animated photos, but not for designing a full website or designing HTML.
