DreamWeaver has really amazed us as it enables everyone to create a professional looking website in a few mouse clicks while at the same time respects the HTML code by producing only *pure* code! The wonderful interface of DreamWeaver is exceptional and will help webmasters concentrate on their work, even if some features of DreamWeaver are 'too much' hidden. As for Fireworks, it's a great graphic designing tool that can be really used to create pictures for the web in order to put the fire! We regret that its interface is not the same as the DreamWeaver one and that there's only a few animations and filters (special effects, etc.) that can be applied to pictures. Also the setup of the web creation suite isn't really integrated, it's a shame for such a great product. I can say that anyway this package is really a good buying that every web artist should have to create/manage great websites! DreamWeaver has really convinced me that I now use it to edit all my reviews.
