I have problems with other users of a particular site using the page sync
functions and overwriting my work on the server.
I no longer recommend to clients that they use
Dreamweaver or a coding tool with sync functions.
For code editing I am sure it is fine, this is only a
case of consulting with a client of what best to use
when they choose to work on their own pages.

Dreamweaver is excellent if you know how to use it correctly and know what you are doing.
The only time Dreamweaver adds a lot of uneccessary code is when you don't understand the HTML/code the it being used.
If you use it entirely as a WYSYWIG editor, then yes, your code will be messy, you need to be in the Code view most of the time, or the split code/design view.
I have used Dreamweaver since version 2 and have tried numerous other applications, none even come close to Dreamweaver.

I guess it's the most flexible, but it's sure not the fastest. I don't understand how you can be efficient when you have no contextual coloring, no line numbers, no syntax completion, no automatic style linking.
I used to use Notepad, too, and now I will certainly never go back. But, to each his own.
UltraEdit 32 is an extremely full-featured editor with PHP support, as well. I alternate between that and DWMX.
