I read a review that discouraged switching from Dreamweaver 4 to Dreamweaver
MX unless you needed the new capabilities offered by Dreamweaver MX's
integration of Cold Fusion. The author said the MX version is more
cumbersome to use and has a steep learning curve. However, another reviewer
complimented MX's interface and CSS enhancements.

Is there anyone on this email list who's made the switch and can share your
insights?

Thanks.
