Delphi 8 vs. Dreamweaver as WYSIWYG HTML Editors

June 23rd, 2005 Jacob Dybala 2 comments

I have to say that I came across a rather stupid forum posting this morning.

Call me old school but programmers were usually the "smarter ones". In most cases they had more expertise and skills than Web designers did while Web designers remained the creative ones. Web designers did a better job at what they do but they don’t deal with as many programming languages as traditional programmers do. My point is that being a "traditional" programmer you know a little more about programming in general and (should) know at least the very (very, very, very) basics of other programming languages (HTML , anyone?).

As a both Delphi and Macromedia (now Adobe) Dreamweaver user it makes me wonder what the person was thinking. Sure Delphi is fine for ASP.Net Web applications but to use it a replacement for Dreamweaver ? Although it can help with some editing it cannot replace or compare to a professional web editing package that Dreamweaver is. The former is an excellent RAD package while the latter is a WYSIWYG web editor.

I was looking for Delphi source codes using Google API when I came across this. I don’t feel like writing code today ;-)
