can someone explain why dreamweaver is good? I have it installed on my machine, but never use it - always thought it was a glorified frontpage.
photoshop + crimson editor + wordpress = pure win.
how would swapping dreamweaver for crimson editor in the above equation be better?

I'm not familiar with Crimson Editor, but for me Dreamweaver is fantastic for keeping a site organized (ex. change the name of a file, and all pages with links to that file update automatically). I also like having a split view/preview window - Click on an image, and that block of code is highlighted for you. There's more. Those are just a couple of things that spring to mind. It's a great tool for those who can write code. For those who can't - you're right. It's a glorified Frontpage.
crimson editor = notepad with colored text and macros (maybe there's more, don't know). yeah, seems like dreamweaver would help on larger projects, just haven't spent the time to learn it.
photoshop + dreamweaver for custom static websites (or even dynamic but if you need to manually edit the code most advanced functionalities of dw won't work anymore )
the best combination in terms of productivity, but you need to know at least some HTML or the first time you screw something you won't be able to fix it
wordpress is by far the fastest way you have to put a website online (even faster if installed via fantastico on cpanel, ~ 1 minute)
whatever you do, you should absolutely learn at least HTML + CSS ( graphic changes without css will take forever on a static website with a lot of pages )

Ps + Dreamweaver CS4.
I hate most of Dreamweaver but the live view feature really does increase workflow significantly (IMO). I just wish it wasn't so fucking bloated, I haven't seen any decent alternatives with this feature yet - any suggestions?
For backend stuff I've now switched IDE to Netbeans since they added PHP support, however you cannot ignore Eclipse if your searching for a good, extensible editor..
