It's what Lauren Herda's said in her tweet you posted–that is what I was responding to, not anything anyone in this thread posted. I should have made that clear.

"rank" was not tweeted.

Duly noted.

Ignorance is tiring.

I've never said that it won't get better. I certainly hope it does get better. I certainly hope you find joy in using it. I simply tried to convey that you are confused to think that Muse is going to replace or "outshine" Dreamweaver. Adobe is marketing these programs to two different users. Adobe is not going to eliminate its professional design tools in favor of tools for casual users.

Seriously if you know and love InDesign, like I do, Muse is the way to go. I can't believe how easy and beautiful it is. I am working on my first site, a monster with over 40 pages and it looks amazing. I am living without table feature, not something I would use. But I also agree that lists are necessary, and I believe they will be coming in Muse shortly. For the short term I've used bullets and the indent/outdent solution, but I can't believe that real lists will be far behind. Seems like they would be so easy to implement. Again, if you know InDesign, give the free Muse trial a go, that's what I did. ( I also know some HTML/CSS and Dreamweaver, but at a basic level.)

That is nearly identical to a previous marketing campaign for Freeway Pro, from a decade ago. BTW, Freeway has lists and tables and everything else Adobe is still struggling to put in Muse.

You can create tables and lists on DW and paste it to Muse like "insert HTML". Or not?

[Guest]

Yes, but that makes DW an expensive table generator.

[eliteart_pro]

LOL I'll try create bullets lists in DW and paste it on Muse... bullets was not visible!

[Guest]

You'll need to override Muse's global CSS reset by explicitly stating the styles inline in DW.

<ul>

   <li style="list-style-type:disc;">1</li>

   <li style="list-style-type:disc;">2</li>

   <li style="list-style-type:disc;">3</li>

</ul>

The bullets will not show in Design mode. They will appear in Preview mode and in export.

An unequivocal YES. Yes you can. And quite functional and sexy pages too. You can make a whole site.  Have at it. It's new so explore, create some awesome pages and have fun!

Don't listen to the haters.

Mr. Rogers, don't be an idiot. The only trolls in this forum are those that try to cause division by calling others "haters". Grow up. Nobody said that the OP could not make a site with Muse.

Avoid all fancy applications and code it by hand using some free editor. HTML and CSS is not hard to learn. No harder, and not much more time consuming, than learning an entire application. Chances are you are going to need to edit the resulting application's HTML and CSS anyways at some point. Might as well know what you are doing. Plus, there no alternative markup language for the web. So you won't have people selling you on their loyalty to brand X's markup. In the end, its only HTML and CSS. Get good at that and you might want to learn Javascript too. Just make sure you do everything on an Apple computer. Those are the best!
