Advantages: Delve into raw code - learn the basics

Disadvantages: It crashes all the time

I cut my web design teeth on previous versions of Homesite and I owe a lot of my understanding of HTML to the help files it contains.

But, as I've upgraded to newer versions I've become increasingly dissatisfied, to the point where the only time I ever touch it is if I'm quickly looking for detailed info on a tag.

It was V4 that did it for me. Until then I don't think I ever noticed it crashing on a regular basis, but it got to the point on V4 where every time I used it it would crash and burn disastrously. This is despite reinstalling the program many times. I'm running it on Win98SE machines at home and work, by the way.

The thing is, I think the very latest build might be more stable, but over a year ago I switched completely over to Dreamweaver and haven't looked back. Dreamweaver still gives you the opportunity to mess with the raw code, but as a productive tool nothing beats it!
