I must say that Homesite for the PC, and good ole BBEdit for the Mac are still the best in my 

opinion. They allow you to have control over the code (without doubling the size of it aka 

Dreamweaver), with all the necessary 'speed' functions such as s 'n' r, quick tables/links /img 

src/ etc, plus a neat 'snippet' facility for quickly inserting necessary parts of code you have 

made before, WYSIWYG (spit) if you need it, preview, and code checking to point out 

when you've missed a <td>.


IMHO Dreamweaver is a wonderful WYSIWYG program, but shouldn't be used for 

anything more than a quick mock-up on a serious project, if at all. More important than the 

program is always the coders. Any coder worth their salt wouldn't risk their rep putting their 

name to a page with an 'mm' script in it...


But then I'm just old fashioned I guess...


<DREAM>What about a program that can take a PSD, determine which are 

foreground/layered/background images, produce tight code from a Macromedia style 

timeline, optimise everything, and produce pages to the specified browser, with downgraded 

pages for backward compatability?</DREAM>


Oh well...
