Is it just me or is modern web design degrading into flash-era sludge where you have to sit and watch 20 seconds of lines dancing around before you can get any information? As a nerd who can appreciate the technical aspects I'm even finding it extremely overdone and obnoxious. There are cases, such as telling an interesting/interactive story, where it makes complete sense. However for an informational/product web site, I'm generally not there to be W0W3d by your 31337 w3b skillz.<p>Am I just old fashioned?
Does anyone have experience with Macaw? Are you using it regularly?<p>I tried the demo a couple times, but didn't fall in love. It seems like a very compelling piece of software, so I'd like to hear if people using it.
Ah yes, the design environment for the web where all your users have new gaming PCs... (the i5 with a mid-class GPU below my desk can't display that page smoothly)
The idea is great, the concept of creating professional grade tools for something is admirable, but in this particular case, whats wrong with Brackets/Sublime/DW/Notepad and a web browser? I find trying to use these new tools results in me spending most of my time either fighting with them or writing custom code outside of them to get what I want done anyway. The website itself looks cool but has an awful frame rate on my i7 Laptop with 16GB of RAM and a Quadro 1GB, which isnt exactly slow.
