GoLive lives

After Adobe’s acquisition of software giant Macromedia, several apps from both companies had an uncertain future. FreeHand? They quietly killed it. GoLive, however, lives on and was today upgraded to version 9.
Adobe’s decision is, to say the least, weird: most people acknowledge Dreamweaver is a superior and more complete web-creation product, so GoLive is essentially redundant—at least, in my opinion, more than FreeHand was because of Illustrator. Adobe does seem to understand, as GoLive is not part of CS3. Heck, the product page even prominently displays a guide to switch to Dreamweaver. So why is it being updated? Web devs, fill me in.
Anyhoo, this version adds better integration with InDesign and borrows some of the page layout application’s character and paragraph styles. There’s a new Place command to position objects on the page, as well as “a visual CSS layout window”. Oh, and don’t forget it’s finally a Universal Binary.
Still interested? GoLive 9 will run you $399 for the full version, or $169 if you’re upgrading from GoLive 6, CS, or CS2.

I need to work on websites without a lot of fuss. I depend on smart objects that update throughout when I make a change in Photoshop, etc. I've tried Dreamweaver and I couldn't even grasp the odd interface, very un-Mac like.
If this is the last version of GoLive then I'll use it until it won't work anymore and then hand my webdesign to someone else.
