All your points may be true, but the best use I find for Dreamweaver is, to check my code for errors.

Most of the professionals, and wanna-be's like me, will use notepad for coding. PHP and HTML are easy to code once you 'learn' the tags. It's the best by far, seeing as you don't have all those extra buttons to get in your freakin way. And If I can't find a certian feature/code in dreamweaver, I'm screwed, and I have to go look it up in the PHP web site. However, if I forgot some code with notepad, I can.... or will... have to do the same thing anyway.. crap, bad example... but I hate dreamweaver for anything except making tables, and checking codes.

Dreamweaver deffinatly, I hated Frontpage although that said the last time I used that was about 2 years ago so given Microsofts reputation its probably had 12 million updates since then( sorry cheap shot I know) but I just rated the features and ease of use of Dreamweaver better< I used it to create my site, and found it really useful for thing I did not klnow how to do and also made mundane thing like anchors and images easy and faster a great web design tool I would recommend it to every one, especially beginers.

damn i remember when i used to use frontpage and i remember how i had to struggle so much with it like for example putting the images in place n such the thing is horrible and messes up the site now i use photoshop to create the layout and slice it up then work with it in dreamweaver which makes everything comes out so good and its easy to use if u work with it.

i like dreamweaver its cool and i like that you can use code only so it isnt wysiwyg plus i never used frontpage

i usually use dreamweaver or notepad. i tried frontpage once but compared to dreamweaver it does not match up in my opinion. dreamweaver is very user friendly so it gains my vote.

dreamweaver rocks! frontpage doesn't even come close. and in DW you have the choice of code, split, or WYSIWYG. i use both, about 50% each. small fixits are a bit of a pain to repair in DW as it loads the ful program, but for everything else, it's IMO the best coder around. again, it's one of those that you pay through the nose for. and i'm sure there are many other alternatives.

I still use Frontpage to design web, because easier..

I trying to use Dreamweaver, but I still confuse.

So I like to choose Frontpage...

To me, Frontpage is just as easy as Dreamweaver, just a bit more complicated. If you want a nice quality site, I say go with Dreamweaver.
