This program is very frustrating, has a number of show stopping bugs that are still waiting to be patched and certainly nothing like the quality we have come to expect from an Adobe product.

This product is terrible and should be removed from store shelves immediately.

"Great improvement"
I realize there are a number of folks who have obviously have issues with this newest version of GoLive. However, my experience has been very good. It's been very stable for me so far, and in my opinion many of the features which have changed deserved to be changed. I am using version 7.02 - you should update right after the initial install.

While some of the changed interface takes some getting used to, I've found I like most of the usage improvements. In a couple of days I was quite comfortable - even with the renaming floating boxes to layers. I don't miss any support for dynamic content since I never used it. I use MenuMachine extend scripts and they worked fine - which is the area that I expected problems in.

I think that new users will have a better time of it with CS than previous versions, some of the annoying usability issues have been fixed in this release. The Adobe developers site has a ton of free full site templates for beginners, it is regrettable that they don't supply some with the software package itself.

I've been using it for hours and hours without any major issues. I've been very pleased with it.

"GoLive CS 7.01 is my most UNSTABLE application"
GoLive CS 7.01 is the most unstable application on my system (100% serious). It crashs when doing very basic things like handling text and using the built in FTP. It crashes all the time. I must admit that version 7.01 is a little more stable than GoLive CS 7.0, but this kind of stablity does not cut it. I had over five GoLive CS 7.01 crashes yesterday (once is too much). GoLive CS 7.01 does nothing for me but cause me rework (constantly) and paranoia of the next impending crash (When will it happen? I promise it will crash). For now I would WARN anyone to steer clear of GoLive CS and wait and see if Adobe is even able to fix this broken or buggy application. The GoLive CS 7.01 code is bad. GoLive CS 7.0 code is even worse.

"Buggier than Windows 3.1 !!!"
Windows Version of Adobe GoLive CS:
This is the buggiest piece of software since Windows 3.1 !!! I've had NO problems with the other programs in the Adobe CS suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.). However, this is so buggy it is useless. Here are some of my issues with this software:

o It becomes sluggish after using it for awhile. I have to close & reopen it for it to work again.

o The "black bar" functionality, which is critical for creating sites, doesn't always work! I've seen other reviews where other people have the same problem. It makes adding web pages ungodly tedious.

o The tool tips are not even correct.

I received this with the rest of the Adobe CS suite. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to buy another web site authoring tool because this program is so buggy that it is unusable.

"Not Even Close!!!"
I agree with the above listed comment! Adobe has renamed key functions like floating boxes to layers and rearranged the locations of common tools found in previous versions. Adobe must have decided that after pulling this stunt with Photoshop 6 it was GoLive's turn. What are they thinking? Being a web designer the last thing I want to do is relearn a software package that I have been using forever. The only reason I am giving GoLive two stars is the new intergraded PDF functions that should be included in all of Adobe's software.
