that was very well put...just adding my 2 cents...
dreamweaver can be a great tool, i use dreamweaver and zend studios, but try to do the actual scripting yourself, it will make you life easier...i use dreamweaver for ease of layout with graphics and my overall layouts of websites, it makes my life easier there, but they lack in language support and write bulky code for you.
I will press F10 and type all my PHP by hand, becuase i need it a certain way and dreamweaver can\'t do that for me. I use for the color coding though....
If i am just writing pure php with no intergration of HTML i will use zend studios, i just love that program...
but in short, download a trial copy from http://www.macromedia.com and see for yourself...
Once other great thing a lot of people don\'t see about dreamweaver is you can bascially re-write a bunch of the actual program...the whole program depends on XML and javascript files to present itself to the user...
If you don\'t like an option or need something, you can go hack it yourself, they give you access to all the files....very nice of them to do so...
