I am currently using Dreamweaver CS3 and am curious about CS4 enhancements. What features are new in CS4? Is it worth the money to upgrade?

Probably not if you are using CS3. Download the trial, give it a whirl
and make an informed opinion based on that.

Take a look at the new features and decide for yourself if it's worth the upgrade.

I read the above feature list without getting the answer. So I went to the next
step and downloaded the CS4 trial version. My first impressions was: -"Where is
everything? It is all grey, no functions maybe?.

But that was not the case it was just a matter of new user interface. One very
nice touch was a drop down where it was possible to select if you wanted
"Classic" design look, which then was similar to CS3. But it was also possible
to chose "Coder" and all the design stuff was minimized and the code window
expanded. Quite nice actually.

Well, I may put in some more comments later, when I have had some time to play
with CS4, but I wanted to post a second link to "Whats New" and more
importantly, what is removed;
