John Nack on Adobe : Adobe Muse enables great Web layout, no coding required - Let me venture a hopefully brief answer. Because the ultimate goal of print design is to make something that you will hold in your hands. The code that makes the finished product possible doesn’t matter. With web design, it is exactly the opposite. The code has to be readable so people can change it, and it needs to be semantic so computers can understand it. It is precisely these two requirements that WYSIWYG editors fail consistently.
I agree with John that, hey, it’s 2011, why isn’t there a good WYSIWYG editor? But after so many years of trying WYSIWYG editors and being disappointed, I’m inclined to think they’re one of those ideas that never cease to excite in theory and fail in practice.
If Muse can generate clean, semantic code, dare I say, it’ll be a miracle.
