Adobe's interface is horrible compared to DW once you get past the basic level.
Take this from a 6th year Graphic/Web design student. I've used these programs long enough![]()

Take the time to learn HTML, CSS, and if you want to do dynamic paged, PHP. It will pay off in the end, because you will have cleaner, faster code, which makes for easier page updates.
I have Dreamweaver, but I find that I don't even use the WYSIWYG features anymore. All I do is edit stylesheets, which are just text, and then edit the HTML or PHP documents in code view, so I might as well be using a standard text editor.
You will learn a lot more, and become a better coder/designer if you stray away from WSIWYG.

Yep. That's all I use. It appears to have the same functionality as HyperText, but is totally and completely free.Chaszmyr said:Taco HTML Edit
