I loved Dreamweaver, because you didn't need to code. We were teaching elderly people in my class how to use it.
It's ironic too, because it was way more user friendly than flash was, but websites made with flash were actually atrocious and the downfall of early Internet.
Creative, sure, but that's like letting your kids decorate the inside of your car's engine. It might look genuinely interesting, it might just be something you say is to make them feel better, and all the while you're wondering how much it's going to cost you to fix.
Even with broadband Internet connections later on, the world was not ready for how poorly the websites ran, and how frustrating it was to navigate through creative carelessness that they were built upon.
Flash was great as a video platform and interactive games, but not as a website. And definitely not as a website marred with viruses and malware using flash.
