Also, is Apple really committed to future support for WO? On the surface, it doesn't look like Apple is emphasizing WO as it has in the past.
We'd all like to know that. Only Steve knows and he's not telling.

On the plus side WO is still used extensively inside Apple. In fact the Apple Store, .Mac, and iTunes Music Store are all based on WO. I don't think it's going anywhere any time soon. I could be wrong.

For a larger project WO seems the much better choice. "large" and "PHP" suggest "maintenance nightmare" to me.



However, much of the actual web page designs have been done using Dreamweaver and its templates. I have not found it easy to incorporate WO into Dreamweaver maintained pages (no real Dreamweaver support for WO). Would we be better off using PHP?

I usually try to avoid tools like Dreamweaver as they tend to produce bloated files of bad HTML. Hence, I have no useful advice to you. Is is easier to maintain the HTML or lots and lots of PHP?
