I don't know what you people are talking about. Dreamweaver MX rocks. I'm an independent freelancer now (after working for MarchFirst, Razorfish and Think) and I have over 10 clients and my partner and I use Macromedia Studio MX to keep them happy and us nicely profitable. I'm all for HTML purity, but this is a mighty competitive environment and I need to be as efficient as possible. Heck, we even have a site nominated for a few awards, created ENTIRELY in Dreamweaver. It's kick-ass usable, works on all browsers and platforms and took my partner and I just under 30 days to design and code from scratch. LONG LIVE DREAMWEAVER! :-p I have to disagree.

Most painful is FrontPage, of course. What a mess! Due to my recent change in employment status, I've switched back from a Windows/HomeSite environment to Mac/BBEdit. It might be my imagination, but I found HomeSite much more helpful, and TopStyle was my best friend. I admit I haven't looked around much, but is there a comparable CSS tool for Mac?

I use DW to change pages, update them, add and remove content, etc. But i use the latest HomeSite to do any creation. From what I heard, the next DW was supposed to integrate the editor of HomeSite into its works. That might make it all around useful.

This is because at the place where I volunteer (msf.ca), they use WYSIWYG programs and for that kind of graphics-heavy website, it's definately less time consuming to WYSIWYG it.
