I have no use for Flash. Even if I did decide to make my site all flashy, Dreamweaver already does the limited amount of flash functionality I could actually use. :) That’s Flash, not Dreamweaver.

The text thing was my main reason to update, it's SO nice not having blurry text in flash anymore. I'm also told that there's a lot of changes to the way action script is handled in '04, but since my use of action script is pretty limited (and I type it in by hand anyway), it doesn't matter to me. :) It also opens faster, which you'll never notice if you use the demo...there's a bug in it that makes it a resource hog. But regular '04 is really cool.
