There's nothing wrong with using Dreamweaver as a tool to help you visualize what you're putting together. But if you don't know how Dreamweaver's doing what it's doing to build your site, you're working with blinders on.

I personally loathe DW because of the grungy bloaty code it generates; to me it's like writing code with mittens on. If TextMate had a little preview pane to see your layout as you work, I'd be very happy indeed.

Me, I'm a Fireworks junkie anyway. Best webdesign program ever made as long as you don't use its code.
 
Moral of the story here is hand coding is the only way to build sites. If you use dreamweaver or frontpage you might as well be my mom building a website.

Thanks.

Damn, I guess I should tell all my employees that we are a bunch of moms developing websites for corporate america. Maybe not a bad marketing plan. soccermomdesigns.com?
