the whole iWeb MobileMe thing has been such a frustrating (yet oh-so-promising) vision for me. i LOVE (loved?) iWeb so much, yet held back, from my plans/visions/goals/projects— perhaps do my ‘detriment’, but really- i mean I’m NOT going to dive in to CMS. I’m not. I’m not going to learn someone’s [read less-than-intuitive, less than enjoyable] means of allowing multimedia and data to intermix. Not gonna do it. I will wait till Apple gets it’s data center squared away, it’s MobileMe out of it’s ass, and iWeb either re-envisioned and/or a total platform or means of integrating this great- amazing desktop experience, with the web.

This confirms my suspicions. I don’t update often, but that is just as valid a reason as someone who updates daily. The bugs and work arounds are not fresh in my mind. I’m switching vs re-creating in iweb.

When iWeb was released it was amazing and redefined a lot of what was happening in the Mac web design world. Now it is lagging behind and could do with a serious update; SEO, HTML 5, image galleries, feedback forms, etc, etc.
I hope Apple get their act together and do something soon.
I’ve now moved to Freeway Pro and it offers me the same design simplicity without the limits mentioned.

Ames Tiedeman:

Slightly off topic, but it’s really because Adobe has a long history of treating Apple development like cr•p.

Good article here about what really goes on under the hood of Adobe apps, to get them running on the Mac – it’s basically a sloppy port.

Dot Apple never really took off iWeb looks the same to me. Can someone explain the philosophical argument Jobs has against Flash? Does he just hate Adobe for some sublime reason or is Flash old technology that belongs in the trash heap of technological history?

Back in the day, I used to have to edit raw postscript in order for certain jobs to rip correctly to the imagesetter, after they had been created in Quark/Pagemaker.

All that changed because consumers demanded it, and nobody has to see postscript anymore.

At the moment were doing exactly the same with the web – creating most of it in wysiwyg, but then fine tuning it in a text editor.

All that will change – in the future nobody will have to see the code – but we as consumers have to demand it.

I am pretty sure Apple will bring something that is much different to the current iWeb. I think they will come up with a new “iWeb” and integrate it with what users have on MobileMe, with iTunes/Ping and probably with facebook and with many other Web 2.0 features. Apple will not stopping to provide a Web content solution but rather come up with something really innovative… Bet you!?
