Performance issues are more than problematic: Dreamweaver 2004 MX is completely unusable on my G5. I would rather not have the updates and work in my old version if it is so slow. This is inexcusable. So please save yourself the $400 to upgrade.

  I made the mistake of upgrading without trying. DWMX 2004 is unusable in Panther. What is most annoying is the pathetic shilling done by the Macromedia sycophants on the user to user forums. I keep thinking that an update will be coming shortly to repair a disgraceful piece of software. Until that comes, do not waste your money on DWMX 2004.

  The speed problems have been reported since the initial release of Dreamweaver MX 2004 and still have not been addressed. (There have been updates to the other applications within the MX 2004 suite, but not Dreamweaver.) Even trying to edit one of the supplied templates (the CSS page with various navigation elements) is horribly slow. When typing text it takes anywhere from 3-5 seconds for each keypress to finally display on the screen. My machine is at the low end of the system requirements (600mhz G3) however I have heard similar reports from users with G5 machines. I have reported this to Macromedia, the support rep duplicated my issue, yet I was still sent to the same web page to submit my issues regarding the problem. This page has been up for months now.
