Dreamweaver or Coda?

Subversion is version control software. In simple terms, you can keep a history of your changes. Make a mistake and you can jump back to a previous version.
FTP: yes.
Edit: Ah, I see angelwatt already explained
Future updates for SVN? If so, yes. It's open source. It's speed is good, though transfer rates will depend on where the server portion is located and your connection to it. I've toyed with it as a local install so I get great transfer rates. Even low-end machines can run SVN well.
If you're asking about DreamWeaver, some updates are free, but bigger ones usually have some fee associated with it. Coda may have something similar setup.
I love my Coda + CSSEdit combo, it's awesome for what I do. I don't do any heavy PHP outside of includes, and if I'm working on .php files then I use MAMP to preview locally.
I was a DW user for years, but I got a job at a small design firm and budgeting was a little tight, so spending several hundred bucks on DW wasn't much of an option. I had grown tired of how HUGE it was, and all those _notes folders showing up everywhere drove me crazy.
I tried Textmate (?) but it was too programmy for me, sKedit was okay for a little while, but I wanted built in FTP, I tried the Wrangler one too but didn't like it either, and ended up on Coda and really really like it. For what I do it's perfect, lite, clean, easy, and I like Panic stuff.
Team up with CSSEdit and two monitors and it's fantastic for me! It does have auto-finish on coding, providing you pick the right syntax. For a version 1, I'm happy and quite excited to see the changes. I emailed them about one issue and got a personal response by one of the real Panic team developers, not a Customer Service person.
I love it.

As an ex-PC user, I needed a new web editor. I'd used Macromedia Homesite and then later Coffee Cup. I like a basic code editor and Coda looked like a product that would fill that bill. I need html editing, CSS support, FTP and terminal emulation--I get all of that with Coda so I purchased a license yesterday. it is an excellent product and perfect for my needs.
I recently switched to Coda from Dreamweaver and haven't looked back. When I played with the Coda demo I didn't think it would fit my needs, but after a few weeks I quickly learned I loved it. Dreamweaver is a big app and I constantly got the beach ball. Coda is fast and sexy... I encourage you to try it for a while, and learn its little features that make it such a great app.
This is just my opinion and in the end it's your opinion that counts. If you like Coda, stick with it. If you don't, stick with Dreamweaver. But defiantly check it out.
Plus you can't beat the price of Coda.
