Anyone use something like Dreamweaver for hammering out the basic ideas of a web app before development?
I've found many:
1st page, NVu and countless otherss free and not.
Does anyone know of one which excels just at RAD prototyping not web site development? I just want to make sure I have the right icons, navigation hammered down before I get into development.
Plus it's kinda nice to actually see something progress...

I can't stress enough how much I've come to hate Dreamweaver in the past weeks. It sucks majorly.

I usually photoshop to hammer out the designs of each page and make sure I have my menus down right, but it's sloooow. I find it faster to hammer out the HTML into templates and just peice togather pages by hand, but for me, a powerful lightweight WYSIWYG tool would be awesome. Something that I could splice images with quickly create table layouts integrate with designs and then disgard when proceeding with actual development. Reusing what I could of course.
I have never used dreamweaver.

I wouldn't bother spending the money required to get a license, but incase I ever change my mind, care to tell my why exactly?
