hello, a question that has come up from many of my web developing friends is that if there is a good alternative to dreamviewer then they will shift to using gnu/linux from the next day. I want to know what does gnu/linux provide for a free web development tool on gnome desktop? it should have features like dream viewer. Krishnakant.

http://www.nvu.com is one of the best that I have seen. It works on Windows machines too, just in case they want to try it for some time before shifting.

also tell your friends that if they use dreamweaver for web development, they can forget about getting a job where I work.

The aptana guys have done a really good job. You may not see a source download link on their website, but mail them and ask for the source you want it.

what PT is trying to say is that web development - apart from entry level stuff - requires a knowledge and application of standards, which can only be achieved with a proper knowledge of CSS, HTML and javascript - all of which a tool like dreamweaver is designed to bypass. Also, the approach that 'I would switch to linux if it was like windows' is not a very good reason for switch. The one OS that is most like windows is, surprisingly enough, windows. Take office suites - open office is in now way any way as good as M$ office in doing what an office suite is supposed to do. Especially in office 2007, to quote a lot of people 'microsoft has got it right. What 'it' is, and whether 'it' is desirable, is another question. FOSS stands for the ideal of using many small tools - each one meant for one purpose and perfect for that purpose, rather than one big monster application that is meant for everything - but perfect in nothing. Most savvy users do not use an office suite at all. They use specialised tools. Conversion to FOSS philosophy and practices implies conversion of ones attitudes and ways of doing work and approaching tasks.
