What does this have to do with your reasons for using Dreamweaver? I
don't understand your point...

Unless you don't know any HTML/PHP (which I'd assume is not the case
because you're posting in alt.php), what can Dreamweaver offer that a
code editor and a browser can't?

Like it what way? The popularity of Dreamweaver just proves that a lot
of people don't know any different. I'd estimate that at least half of
Dreamweaver's users have never used the code view, if they even know
what it is.
