Hi,

Dreamweaver has received at the most grudging praise from many using
this NG but I think if many tried the current version (version 8, the
last before the Adobe takeover!) they would perhaps regret their faint
praise. The program has come a long way.

While not the best program for anybody learning HTML from scratch,
more so because of the complexity of the program itself, if it is used
correctly and with a sound background knowledge of HTML it will
produce excellent sites that are standards compliant.

It is a bit like owning a chain-saw: you can carve up a beautiful
forest and send it for chipping, or with sufficient skill you can
create a sculpture from a block of wood.

Andrew.

PS Could Adobe/Macromedia send me money for this plug? Please??
