Dreamweaver has code highlighting and code helpers, so it's very useful for pros and n00bs (pro's have better things to do than remember all arguments of a any PHP function ).
Obviously if you used the WYSIWYG feature you saw it's as simple as using MSWord and getting very good results, so it's perfect for n00bs who don't want to know anything about code.

I used to use the notepad... but the problem is that you have to manually upload it to the server and you can't find things easily in a long file (tabs, colors, and code navigatos help very much and make you work quicklier).

Frontpage is crap. It's resulting WYSIWYG pages are 3 or 4 times the size it would be if written by hand and most times results are not as good (browser incompatibility, etc). But it's easy to use and as many learning centres have Office installed they tend to teach to use Frontpage than Dreamweaver.

There's absolutely no point in saying DW is for noobs.

Mainly when I'm putting a webpage together I'll use notepad and then tidy it up in FrontPage if necessary...1st Page 2000 is good as well

i use dreamweaver for everything i do the only thing is i hardly use the wysiwyg anymore because recently i've been doing dynamic templates.

lol... "and Linux was then created". You can't do any serious work with notepad guys, get real for 2 seconds . I personally think that the best thing is a mix of both. Use a WYSIWYG program to create the cool look of your site, then use a text editor to program some of the technical features of your page.

I created my whole website using Notepad, and the images with Adobe Photoshop... It's not too bad, imho. I made all my websites with those 2 programs. Still good enough for me!

While we're advertising HTML editors, let me advertise the good one I use: http://webwriter.dk/english/index.htm. It's simple, I agree, but you can register it for free, it's understandable and it does the job, so I'm happy
