The reason I don't use it, is because I like to define everything myself, and know EXACTLY what is going on with what code.

I'm not sure exactly whay you mean be "generated by PHP scripts", but Dreameaver does have (limited) support for PHP. At least for what I use it for it does. All the websites I design are PHP when they're finished (unless the server sucks, like Microsoft bCentral, and I have to use ASP instead). I code everything by hand and would never ever dream of using the WYSIWYG features. The thing I like about Dreamweaver is it's ability to manage accounts. I can simply open Dreamweaver, click on a clients account and everything is there and open. When I finish with a file, I just click the upload button and it's done. I never have to browse my computer for files, open any FTP client, or even log into FTP accounts anymore. Dreamweaver also helps a lot if you have several people working on the same project because of the check-in/check-out features so my partners and I don't end up editing the same file at the same time. Dreamweaver is useful to me the way I use and that's just my opinion. And when you get 10 copies of Dreamweaver MX 2004 for $80, you can't complain and you might as well use it.

| Indeed? Sounds like a good deal... All too good in my opinion...

Did a 140 hour mentorship with the webmaster of the school system two summers ago to fufill my magnet senior mentorship project. Site is designed and coded using Studio MX. Site is mostly his design (although I had a decent amount of input), and basically all my coding, as the webmaster was more proficient in graphic design than html and java manipulation before I came.

-Blaze | this is exactly how i feel. my g/f uses dreamweaver to design pages and is constantly needing my help fixing code, especially when workin with tables. So i tell her to get the hell outta the web view mode, open up the code, i fix it, and all is well. |

Its the integration of both good design and efficient coding that makes a site worthy of coming back to over and again. |

My site is fully Notepad coded: www.tekshome.com
This site www.goldleafgroup.com , made mostly in frontpage, before i had a comfortable handle on the code, now I'm in the process of recoding to CSS and W3C compliant HTML.
however I'm sure dreamweaver would have no problem making any of the above. |
