I use Dreamweaver at work because Macromedia swallowed Allaire.  I like the 
code editing facilities that are now built into it - ones that were taken 
from Allaire Homesite.  I've never used it in WYSIWYG mode - only out of 
interest to see what it's code is like.

Dreamweaver's code isn't bad these days so it's probably not a bad way for an 
HTML newbie to learn the markup, although the code/style separation thing is 
something DW makes you work hard for.  In many ways I think it's like Word - 
used properly it has all the features of a nice application but unfortunately 
it makes it so much easier to use badly than it does to use it well.

Richard.
