I don't understand why people need this WYSIWYG interface. What is wrong with a simple code editor plus your browser which you flick between to see the changes? WYSIWYG 'editors' usually just create more problems.

Of course, you might be right, if you are a really dedicated programmer/web developer who works a lot that way. For my own case I have to tell you that I have worked a lot in previous times with coding of printed matters (before DTP). Which resulted in poor design, and a lot to much focus on the coding part (in my case anyway).

What does this have to do with your reasons for using Dreamweaver? I don't understand your point...

Unless you don't know any HTML/PHP (which I'd assume is not the case because you're posting in alt.php), what can Dreamweaver offer that a code editor and a browser can't?

The popularity of Dreamweaver proofs that at least a lot of people like it that way.

Like it what way? The popularity of Dreamweaver just proves that a lot of people don't know any different. I'd estimate that at least half of Dreamweaver's users have never used the code view, if they even know what it is.
