Because GoLive is a web site builder/designer app (i.e it's about page
and site design, not image manipulation) and IR was, supposedly, for
producing images to be put in those web sites. IMHO, it never did
anything well and wasn't even on the same planet, never mind the same
league, as Fireworks.

GoLive isn't bad, but it's clunky, difficult to learn and, most
importantly from my POV doesn't handle the use of templates anywhere
near as well as Dreamweaver. As far as I'm concerned is only useful
when you have a page in InDesign that you want to turn into a web
page. You can send it from ID directly into GoLive and it creates a
web page. At which point I save it, shut down GoLive and open the page
in Dreamweaver.

I would assume, now that Adobe have Dreamweaver, which is the most
used professional web site design software, that they'll take the good
bits out of GL (it does have some, just not very many <g>) add them to
Dreamweaver and say a not so fond farewell to GL.
