I strongly believe Dreamweaver keeps you ignorant of knowing what html and css are for,what they can do and how to solve problems with both.
I think it should only be used by experienced designers so they can cut down on the time it takes to design a new template,not by folks wanting to know how to make pages fast without knowing what goes into the design of a page.
Maybe you’ll think I just say this because I am threatened by folks having the ability to DIY.Nope.Because a noob will f up and make a total hash of things and end up having to hire someone anyway.
And I have nothing but respect for the person who wants to do it themselves.
