I threw in the towel this afternoon. It’s been a long week already, and life is piling on from all directions. So when I wanted to open a text file and do the same things I did just fine in HomeSite on my old windows laptop, Dreamweaver convinced me it is a Word wannabe.

The program is instrusive, stubborn and really clumsy. I miss BBEdit. At least that program had many many windows doing simple things very well. I don’t know if it is still as good as it was 6-7 years ago, but I’m definitely avoiding Dreamweaver from this point forth.

That, coupled with some other configuration issues, and I’m headed back to the Windows environment for all my coding. Unfortunately, since Parallels has its own problems and I no longer have the trial license, I’m going to my old laptop for all of this. One step forward, two steps back.
