Some free alternatives are not so good. Others are excellent. GIMP is awesome as is Inkscape. Adobe continues to charge an arm and a leg for technology that is 10-years old. For most of us, the additions since Adobe bought out Macromedia are worthless. As long as people keep paying for it, they’ll keep producing it. Thanks for the free alternatives. Open Source and GNU needs your continued support.

- Only good dreamweaver alternative is AptanaStudio… is free, cross-platform with plugins like Ruby,Air,Python.. easy to use and very profesionall
- for AE substitute i didnt find anything much usefull except Blender… but let’s wait for Blender 2.5, this will change game a lot

Unfortunately many of these free alternatives are just not comparable to Abobe’s products and frankly a waste of time getting into – Kompozer for example messes around with html/css worse that MS Frontpage ever did!

A more useful article would include lower cost alternatives which are stable and a useful alternative for designer/web designers of limited means. e.g. Photoshop Elements, MS Web Expression, MS Web Developer Express etc.

I’ve always used Dreamweaver and Photoshop but I’ve just discovered Inkscape as a replacement for Illustrator. This is a good article but I’m also a big ADOBE fan! All my webd evelopment positions from past to current have always provided me with adobe. It’s at home I gotta spend.
