dreamweaver handles CSS in the most retarded way.
it's interface is bloaded and annoying to use.
it uses deprecated html.
it's slow.

lol all depends on how you use it. I like how it deals with css, and that i can edit it as code or within the css panel, I like its built in ftp panel and behaviors/extensions. I like its code editors options and functionality as well as its find/replace, link checking/orphan file finder etc. DW has a whole ton of positive points. It's been my favortie since way back in the ultradev days. I've tried a lot of other editors but none function as fluidly as dw. imo.

uhh, forget how it edits CSS, you can do that with textpad.
It doesn't use CSS the way it was designed to be used, which is by reusing styles for multiple areas. it's retarded.

unless you can write css without using a program like Dreamweaver.. sorry to say, you're not "good at it".. :P

the whole point to CSS styles is that you reuse the same style over and over again for many different parts of your page. Dreamweaver will not do this for you unless you specifically make it do it.

um i understand css fine and can hand code it and do reuse the styles over and over. Thats the whole point of css. Dreamweaver will do exactly what you tell it to do, just like any other application. If you dont tell it that this piece of text here ot that table cell there is to use some.odd.stylename it wont. Is there some app out there that reads minds and auto styles everything based on what your thinking?

CSS in dw works a lot better than your givin it credit for.. how much time do you.. or have you spent in dw?

dreamweaver is good for layout and design, If I wanted to make pages all day long I'd probably use it.

sure the scripts it makes might work but real people can make them a lot better. dreamweaver is just another excuse to be lazy and eventually wipe out entire proffesions. what`s with people who say they made a site and then you look at their source only to find it littered with frontpage tags? that`s not makign a site. that`s like saying you baked those yummy cookies when all you did is stir in the baking soda.

lol i wuld never trust dreamweaver or any other wysiwyg editor to do as good a job coding as i like.. It's merely a tool, and all tools needs o have strict attention payed to them. I'd never code a website in txtpad, no code formatting/coloring + autofill.

uhh, textpad has string coloring actually.
autofill is simply for those who don't know their tags properly..

autofill saves time, hit space bar, type the first letter of the variable and it autoinserts it and provides quotes and closing tags.. nothing faster than that. Split wysiwyg/code, behaviors, frames panel, etc etc.. lotsa good stuff in dw.

nah, i can type the whole tag faster than waiting for the editor to figure out what you want..

yes but you can patch up textpad to include compilers right into the interface :) that is efficiency
