Really? My impression was that no professional Web developers ever used
Dreamweaver. Long ago, I even took a Dreamweaver class (I'm not sure
why) and the teacher told us that reason he wouldn't be covering any
advanced subjects was because real programmers and web developers would
never use it.

Outside of that class, I've never met anyone (professional or amateur)
who used Dreamweaver for anything. I have run across one or two amateurs
who rely on those cheesy editing tools that come with their hosting
package. Also, I think a lot of official Web pages around UAF are built
on Roxen (though, I don't know how many people are actually happy about
that).

Back when I tried Dreamweaver, I remember being rather disappointed
because, for all the hundreds it cost, it didn't really make it any
/easier/ to do styling. I still had to figure out the more complex CSS
for special formatting (expanding divs, special borders, etc.)
