If it helps at all Bob, I use Dreamweaver as my main dev environment (on
both platforms) for HTML, PHP, CSS and JS. I also occasionally use
SubEthaEdit and Text Wrangler on the Mac, or Crimson Editor on Windows. I
have to qualify that by saying that I almost never use the design view, but
treat it more like a web IDE. I find that the only time I get into trouble
with Dreamweaver is when I use design view, as it writes code for you then,
and I¹d prefer it didn¹t. The site management features alone are worth it
for me.
