Not Worth Upgrading For [Posted on 2005-05-27]
Very disappointing release! I have been a GoLive user for going on two years now and after a long waiting period, CS2 is finally upon us. Unfortunately, CS2 did not herald the bug fixes and core improvements so many GoLive users have been waiting for.

The most glaring problem is that GoLive CS2 still does not have a history feature. Even ridiculously simple functions like previewing your in-development pages make it impossible to revert to a previous state and undo any mistakes. Perform a find/replace and again, once you commit to the replace you cannot undo the change.

What is the point of previewing your webpage if you can't go back and correct a mistake? It is this kind of blatant oversight that damns GoLive to being a subpar program that just doesn't feel as intuitive or polished as other Adobe products.

There have been a number of small improvements (such as an advanced CSS library) but those changes cannot make you overlook the fact that at its core, GoLive CS2 is a buggy and fundamentally broken product that fails to deliver on every level.

Another poor showing. When will Adobe get this right? Not worth the money as a stand alone product and certainly not worth upgrading from CS.

For the record [Posted on 2006-05-10]
Just FYI in response to InfiniteStill's remarks that you cannot back out changes in GoLive:

I am still on GoLive 5.0, but in that version you CAN back out of any changes that you have made to a web page - even after using the find/replace.

You can click on "File > Revert to Saved". This will back out of any changes that you have made to the web page SINCE THE LAST SAVE.

I use it all them time.

Hope this helps. :)

BTW - My rating is actually for GoLive 5.0 since I have not yet upgraded to the CS version. GoLive is a great tool for managing web sites. I have several web sites and I use GoLive for them all. GoLive isn't perfect, but it sure does take a lot of the drudgery out of hand-coding every line of HTML - especially nested tables!
