I like using Dreamweaver to create my pages. I have an old version (CS5) running on my iMac which is also old (2007). I like having the HTML editor on the left side and the WYSIWYG editor on the right side in Dreamweaver. I wish that Rapidweaver had that setup in their editor.
Originally, I had built my website in Dreamweaver and was only using Rapidweaver for my blog pages. Then when Google pushed for mobile responsive designs, I started using one of the included responsive themes in Rapidweaver to convert my website. The theme that I picked was also Bootstrap friendly, so I learned how to use Bootstrap instead of buying Stacks and learning Stacks. I wish that Rapidweaver’s editor also had built in Bootstrap tools for editing.
I currently build my pages in Dreamweaver and copy over the HTML code into a Rapidweaver HTML page, so DW is my page editor and RW is my CMS and blog system. It can be a pain to go back and forth between the two programs, but it’s better than trying to use Rapidweaver’s text editor or hand code HTML entirely in Rapidweaver without good helper tools.
I hope that future versions of Rapidweaver get better editing tools.
