    I don't agree with this, (sorry). One could say that about FrontPage in the
    past, not really Dreamweaver, (in recent times). Modern HTML visual editors/IDEs
    like Dreamweaver/FPage, excel at standards compliant XHTML, HTML/DHTML (DHTML is
    bloated, but that's so the Javascript works in *all* browsers). It's always
    going to be faster to use an IDE to manage large complex sites, in workgroups,
    than it is going to be writing your own HTML in a text editor, and letting
    others use their own favourite editors, within the same "group". That's where
    Dreamweaver/FrontPage show their advantages -- Rapid Deployment in an
    integrated environment.

    I'm not knocking those using Vi, Vi(m) or Emacs, they're probably experts at
    writing raw HTML. However, I have my doubts, that way, works in an efficient
    standardized workflow, within a workgroup, where others are using Visual IDE's
    -- In fact I know it wouldn't, as we've tried it.

    It would be nice to see NVU or any GNU web dev app, evolve into something as
    promising. For doing PHP, I simply love ZendStudio, but for doing the visual
    part of the page, I prefer Dreamweaver over anything -- simply because it's
    faster for "yours truly" to churn out pages in an efficient manner.
