hmm, I wonder if it will handle css any better?

Didn't they say that about DW4? Ooh and UltraDev, MX , MX2004 and and ...

Should be interesting to see how the program does! I like Dreamweaver MX!

guys take a look at the feature tour, then you will see that they are promising a whole lot better css support and much much more.

I like the current DW MX also... but I can definately use better CSS support in the program!

Am on the mailing list for the release.

One of the main features is improved CSS handling, so hopefully it'll be good.

Its excellent!

The new features make CSS easier to code using the unified CSS panel, easy to handcode with the new code collapse and code toolbar features. Added support for XML and XLST!

People who do not use CSS much and / or do not hand code will not find this upgrade usefull

Hoping that the inbuilt FTP is better than MX as well. Never had a problem with earlier versions, but MX seems to hang during FTP and upload blank files all the time.

FTP has also been improved. You can now FTP in the background while you continiue to work!

Great! I didn't even think about that being something I wanted... but that is much better! It really sucks having to wait for that!
