Let me start by saying that I like GoLive. I use it for some sites. But personally, I just have found a lot more flexibility with the Macromedia software. I have used both so I do have a good point of comparison.

<<Well, this sounds very promising for small sites, which is what Dreamweaver is best at anyway.>>
Why the heck would you suggest that Dreamweaver is only good for small sites? If you have good coding practices, like using CSS correctly for layout, then Dreamweaver can do an outstanding job with sites that have many hundreds and even thousands of pages.

My personal graphically driven (SVG images of industry value chains, maps etc. etc) knowledge based site has around 4800 pages - many pages very similar in code because it is faster from the server and more efficient to work this way than with database generated pages.
Dreamweaver on my dual G5 Powermac handles this very well. An original G5 iMac also works well. In fact my site was originally put together on a B&W 400 MHz with an early release of Dreamweaver.
Dreamweaver under Macromedia's direction has always worked very well for my very complex site and has enabled me to use a range of current technologies. Dreamweaver makes it relatively easy to manage and change code in a huge numbers of similar pages very easily.
I have decided to give this release of Dreamweaver a miss because UK based folks are being disadvantaged (milked) by Adobe.

Imagine working on the navigation portion of your web site and only having to create one button, saving this as a Symbol then only copping it and changing the text inside for the deferent other buttons. Your client dose not like the color of the button or style, you only change the symbol and it get updated through out your entire navigation. Now that is sweet. Also you create one master template for your web site assign the variable areas and you truly have the same thing as master pages for your web site, totally making any changes a breeze. Adobe solutions never came close to this kind of flexible design workflow.

I can imagine both easily because I've been doing them in GoLive since I started working with it back during the OS 9 days. Both are highly advertised features of the program and are very flexible in what you can do with them. Your knowledge of GoLive must be pretty limited.
