Who wins between Dreamweaver CS3, Microsoft Expression and Visual Web Developer?

I have a web page written in asp.net for a client and we have been using Microsoft's free Visual Web Developer Express Edition tool. However, we found that this is a little slow and lacking in the areas of design WYSIWYG therefore wondered if an upgrade to Dreamweaver CS3 or any of Microsoft's new Expression Web design tool would be prudent. Its budget is sufficient to cover the cost of each of them, we wonder whether the money would be worth on the free software we're using now. I know that Dreamweaver has the ability of good timing, but no asp.net and IntelliSense. How are these 3 areas of expression? Please tell me if you use the 3 and the pros and cons of each. Thank you.

I agree. Dreamweaver is a versatile web development software that has aspects such as good timing and use efficient interface. You should go with Dreamweaver CS3. Definitely worth the money for this software. I use it myself, and I think that is a very useful software.

Mono: A Developer’s Notebook $18.95 The Mono Project is the much talked about open source initiative to create a Unix implementation of Microsoft’s .NET Development Framework.
