I think its great because its easy to use for my level of experience in coding. I"m like a noob level. lol. It has wysiwyg so its easy to see your coding at work while your working on it. The built in ftp thing is great so you don't have to open another ftp program and just upload everything. With dreamweaver its just one application.

Well I wouldn't really worry about Dreamweavre 8 anymore Dreamweaver 9 is the more complete package, due to the fact it now supports more templates both fluid and fixed width, the coding is up to standards with support for coding in mobiles phones. IT now supports ajax and scary it enough there is xhtml support for frams. It both supports not only fireworks but also photoshop images. Also includes no junk coding which is one of the best things for a html editor, so basically what I am trying to say it is the ultimate package, not to keen on the browser it has but thats ok I sometimes use it for quick edits. There so much stuff to it, you wish other html program can support most of this, although this is one of hte most expensive html editors out there, it's worth every penny.

Of couse some of us like to go old school and use note pad, which I do sometimes for again quick fixes, but when I am doing serious codig I like to see the code more organize with it's pretty colors and what not.

Dreamweaver is great, but if you cant use it, use notepad! definately the best way to go if your just in it for coding. but for a wysiwyg, dreamweaver is the way to go.

To make a quality website you need this programs: Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash.

Learn CSS, but for CSS you can use Dreamweaver, but better is to learn how to make code in notepad, and put meta tags in html documents.

When you will learn CSS you will don't need to have tables in your website.
