I have been using Linux since 1993. I installed the first version of Slackware on a 16MB 386sx-25. Since then I have been using it almost exclusively on one or more of my PCs. So I consider myself as a bit of an expert. I have been using computers since 1982 mostly PCs, but also VAX mainframes and SPARC systems. Operating systems (and GUIs) I have been using include CP/M, DOS, Windows from Version 2 to XP, Geos, Beos, SCO Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and quite a few Linux Distros.

> Quanta , best ... what ? I must be missing something here . I admit i haven't tried it in a while , but still ... how much better could it be ?
Okay, how long is a while? Let's see... I have one full time developer sponsored since mid 2002 and a part time developer sponsored for two months, plus a number of volunteers. Quanta won the LinuxQuestions.org Web Development Editor of the Year for 2003. It is fully DTD driven and can load XML DTDs on the fly. (show me a commercial web tool that does that.) It was the first real Linux web development tool to introduce a Visual mode. (think WYSIWYG without hacking up your source) It comes with Kommander, a visual dialog builder, a link checker, imagemap editor, an XSL debugger and deeply integrated PHP debugger (BE2, 3.3 Alpha1 and CVS). It manages project docs, multiple upload profiles, multiple document roots and more. Users can add language support with XML, it has XML tools and performs real time DTD validation and tag balancing. It has CSS tools, templates, code abbreviations and is fully scriptable through DCOP. I could go on, but do you really care?
> I'm sorry to be an "article basher" but this has zealot written all over it .
And you don't? You could call me a zealot because I'm the project head. Fair enough. But at least I know what I'm talking about, not bashing FOSS software and I'm not opening my mouth where I don't have a clue. If you try Quanta (3.2.2 or especially a 3.3 like BE2) you will have to admit it has advanced a lot. If you previously ran it on Red Hat 8.0 it was a crappy not ready for release pre 3.0 which is hardly fair to judge us by.
BTW I answer nearly every user email and we have a mailing list for user support. I would challange any commercial or non commercial tool for the title of best, and many former Dreamweaver users emphatically agree. Check it out if you're doing web work, or before your next slam. ;-)
