    Dreamweaver is utter garbage, there is not a single reason to use it for modern web development. It stopped being a viable choice all together about 4 years ago. Dreamweaver is a terrible WYSIWYG HTML creation tool, a fucking terrible and bloated programming text editor and an atrocious CSS Editor not to mention a fucking ripoff.

    Check the following out, all superior to Dreamweaver and all a fraction of the cost.
    Textmate - http://macromates.com/
    Espresso - http://macrabbit.com/espresso/
    CSSEdit - http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/
    Coda - http://www.panic.com/coda/

    "still useful for real-time visual reference."
    All the programs listed above have real time previews, CSSEdit in particular is very impressive, the closest thing you will ever get to a sensible WYSIWYG enviroment.

    • DW is fine for basing coding. If you're using the WYSIWYG editor, however, uninstall immediately.juhls
    • My main point is DW is a terrible code editor too. Try what I suggested and see what you are missingPIZZA
    • DW is a good code editor, you're clearly not using it right.jamble
    • I use Coda, CSSEdit, and Textmate, and Dreamweaver is still fine.juhls
