5. So what’s new? It’s 2014 come on guys...
6. The Newest Duo:
7. But first...let’s visit an old aquantaince: Adobe Dreamweaver
8. Dreamweaver targets Front-End Web Developers
9. Dreamweaver is a Wysiwyg + IDE a “jack of all trades”
10. Dreamweaver wanted to GUI’fy Web Development Workflow (..it didn’t work...)
11. Runner Up... (Macaw)
12. Macaw targets Web Designers (GTFO Photoshop) Not Web Developers
13. Macaw is a “Polished” WYSIWYG +Tackles CSS Bloat +Responsive Breakpoints +Typography
14. No .psd/.pdf just html+css Macaw wants to Replace Photoshop for Web Design ( )
15. And Last But Not Least... Google “Web Designer”
16. Google “Web Designer” aka: “Web Animator” targets... CSS/JS Animation
17. Google “Web Designer” is a “Streamlined” WYWSIWYG +Advanced CSS Animation +Advanced Shapes (Pen Tool) +Very Ad Centric
18. NOTE: Google “Web Designer” Is Not for making Websites... (it’s for Ads...) -No “Responsive Design Tools” -Has CSS/ID Bloat
