I thank god for DW because then I know that if it features on a job advert I need not apply.

Actually, I only use design mode for little things like changing wording. The real reason I use it is for the automatic FTP transfer, code coloring (really not necessary, but adds readability), and code hints. Overall, it saves time for me. On my homebuilt server I use for experimenting, I use context.

I find very little (and by little, I mean 'no') reason to use design mode, but DW does make code writing quicker, I like their highlighting as it makes mistakes stand out, and the FTP (though I wouldn't are allow it to be automatic!).

By automatic, I mean that it uploads it when you hit save as well as saving a backup copy to the HD.
The only thing I find annoying with the code hits is that it doesn't give you any suggestions for php or javascript code, but everything for html

And that's exactly what I thought you meant. I'd never want it to be automatic.

That's what the PHP Manual and the MDC are for. ;)

@superdezign: I mean that it doesn't have an autocomplete feature for php or javascript like it does with HTML and CSS. Although... I did find the file that defines the hints and autocompletes...
