DreamWeaver is a code editor, that happens to have some visualisation
options. They HELP build a site. Of course, being a web designer of any
worth you knew that rather than just following the blind trend of
dissing software because it's the trendy thing to do. Right?

We were working on a site today with some pretty complicated layouts.
While DW didn't like they layers (divs) we were using (it simply stacked
them up), it was very useful to have a psuedo-WYSIWYMG display for
formatting text (not direct formatting - applying CSS styles from DW's
UI). As the content was a mirror of some printed docs, it was vastly
faster than doing in by hand in HTML.

I wonder when people post comments like you how you manage to design
sites at all. After all, a lot of what makes a good site is
understanding how UI's work, how to make processes faster and easier to
use - and yet these comments seem to suggest a complete lack of skills
when it comes to actually using and understanding UIs, or why they are
even there.

So


there :p
