I agree 100% here, just because we're supposed to have an ideology of
free software doesn't mean we should be against using non-free software.
Hell, dreamweaver is an awesome product! This logic extends further that
if we are able to help Expectnation become open source (as a previous
post suggested), then the way to do that is to embrace it now...
Especially as it has features which are invaluable to GUADEC being a
success in 2008!
