在jandan和cnBeta上都看到《Dreamweaver 正在死亡 》这篇文章，本来以为可以把我心中的话都说出来的。没想到 - - 居然是Drupal的软文。。囧

jandan说：

# 前不久美国政府的一个官网(recovery.gov)使用了Drupal开源CMS系统，引起我对它的兴趣。不知各位路过的达人对此有何高见？

好吧，我来转载别人的高见：

i'm on an anonymous acct b/c there may be one or two things i say here that aren't entirely ready for public disclosure.
the white house is tied to an infrastructure that the bush administration bought shortly before leaving office from a major contractor for millions of dollars (public information based on contracts)
there are high level internal discussions about actually ditching this for drupal to run WH.gov altogether although there are a lot of opponents that come in two camps:
1) technologists that are saying use rails, django, or something else as drupal won't be secure enough or flexible enough etc etc etc
2) the old guard that is afraid of anything that doesn't come with a $10 million dollar contract (the existing WH contract is something like 20 mil -- for a f*cking website)
needless to say moving from the tools had before the campaign to the ones inside the WH is a step in the wrong direction. recovery.gov being based on drupal is a positive step (technical squabbles with drupal aside) as it is a bucking of the idea that for anything to work it has to be 'enterprise'
i come from a tech background and despise PHP and know the baggage that drupal or any "CMS" carries, but trust me, the white house launching a .gov domain without paying Boeing (yes.. boeing and other "military" contractors win website contracts over established firms b/c they know how to play the gov't contracting game) is huge if only because it just saved millions of dollars of taxpayer money (and from a technical angle if you think drupal is bad imagine what kind of CMS Lockheed Martin or General Dynamics could cook up)
people inside the white house are talking to other very smart people in camp 1 and know not to listen to camp 2

文中 b/c 是 because 的缩写，WH是white house白宫的缩写

走美国特色社会主义道路侯赛因·奥巴马同志是个明白人。民选制度能有这么一个好总统是美国人民的幸事。不过米国的官僚和黑幕也不见得比中国的差。2千万美刀做个网站。。。orz。。。。

话也说回来，我心目中的Dreamweaver是这样子的，提供一个超出CSS Box Model的设计机制，让从mock up模型直接自动生成适合各种浏览器的CSS Hack，然后把网站动态功能Link到各种AJAX库里，最后结合CSS Spirtes等技术“编译”出一个网站。当然这个过程边要有webkit的预览窗口。这个功能已经在CS4里实现了。

还是那句话，其实网页设计不是技术活，而是时装行业、流行市场的一块。Dreamweaver能否真正“织梦”，要看Adobe的决心和力度
