GoLive GoneDead

It appears that Adobe finally decided GoLive will no longer be developed, as of today. IMHO, GoLive was a tragedy from the start. Having used it only a few times, I never got the impression is was anything more than FrontPage by Adobe.

Folks who want to move to Dreamweaver, and have a current license for GoLive, will be offered a $199 upgrade path.

Expect a real press release from Adobe very soon.

FWIW, I'm glad they are rid of GoLive. Adobe is doing a great job at refining their tools and there is no need to have multiple tiers of web development applications, unless they choose to follow in Photoshop's footsteps and provide a light version for the hobby crowd. I would also expect them to leverage AIR/Flex to develop something similar to Photoshop Express, allowing online page development.

Wouldn't that be cool? Dreamweaver Express... it's not a leap to imagine something like this really giving Google's Pages suite a run.
