Regular Site Cache Recreation Needed

Question

I keep seeing this problem on these boards, and no response
from the developers. Very sad.
It seems that every few days I need to re-create site caches
for my sites, and every few weeks, DW MX simply won't open. I know
how to fix it by monkeying with the Configuration directory, but
that hardly seems like the proper way for such an expensive and
presumably professional software package to operate.
Does any DW user here (or god forbid, a developer!) have a
solution that makes the site cache more stable?

Where are you getting this misinformation? Lack of
improvements? Good
grief - in CSS alone, there are too many dramatic
improvements to count, not
to mention the server-behavior improvements, the PHP support
improvements,
the overall UI improvements, and on and on.

OK - where is your local site physically located? Is it on a
remote network
shared drive?

sites
Yes - I suspect you are correct. Give me the details of your
setup for
this, please?
