Which one do you use the most?
And i think you meant "Authoring"

Slightly different topic. These aren't editors, they are WYSIWYG apps
EDIT | That's not a cue to start discussing plain text *editors* like emacs etc or this thread will be locked again.

I don't use one. I hard code my HTML. *
* Edited to make what I meant to say more understandable to those reading (since obviously none of you are sitting next to me as I talk to myself and type out what I am saying to me).

I rarely code my html period, I am far too busy to worry about the front end of an application and how things are displayed code wise. I've always been a beleiver in such software, although on the times that I do have to consider the front end important I generally wouldn't use Dreamweaver to generate my HTML either. Please don't tell people to not use them, because they do serve a great purpose in a lot of people lives, even though it may not in yours..

Sorry, that didn't read quite how I intended it. It is along the same lines as...
Wife: "Good morning, dear."
Husband: "Morning."
What I meant to say was...
Everah should have wrote:I don't use one. I hard code my HTML.
Sorry for the confusion. It is not my place to tell anyone here what they should or shouldn't do. I apologize for my lack of clarity.

You know I can probably type out a layout faster than most people can design one in one of those editors. What slows me down is forms, and validation.

Just becuase someone uses Dreamweaver or other similar software, it DOESN'T mean that they rely on that software to produce their HTML.
I have been using Dreamweaver since version 2. I still use it now becuase it is what i am comfortable with.
I don't use it as a WYSIWYG editor. I still hard code *most* of my HTML. Although i do use Dreamweaver to produce certain things like inserting images etc, becuase it can do that quicker than i can type it

Dreamweaver has AWESOME code folding capabilities, but it lacks the auto completion feature like what is found in Quanta. In Quanta for example when you type the first 3 characters of any word or variable name on the page your working on, it gives you a drop down menu of words to select from.
That makes it SOO much easier for me to recall exactly what variable name I am looking for, and it saves time as well.
If Dreamweaver had that 1 single feature, I would probably use it for coding.

Does Dreamweaver still screw with invisible characters in the output sporadically?
