You are doubtless right. I make a comment now not meant to
flatly contradict you. The situation may be worse than you
think!

To take just one point, I am back on my Mac and notice that it
breaks up horribly at different font sizes. This has nothing to
do with Dreamweaver much, it is really quite a naive or ignorant
use of it I would say... I would rather fall down a hole in the
ground and be pissed on by passing kangaroos than use any of
these alleged wysiwigs, but here I digress.
