It's highly useful in a graphic design environment and holds strong charcteristics that have contributed to it's popularity. it probably the only mass use html code programs that currently meets standards.
I know where you guys are coming from, but theres a slight air of the old *nix attitude of "It's not good unless coded by hand or run from a command line". I hope that such attitudes are disappearing.

I am with you there one hundred percent. Deamweaver MX is great, though I prefer dreamweaver 4 because I like the Gui better. Handcoding is simply not practical, especially if you are working in volume or with time constraints. If Html is an artform to you, hand coding is like using needle to stiple hundreds of points of paint onto canvas when you could easily get the same effect with an airbrush. (I do miss the command line promt days enough to begin work on a Dos/Windows 3.1 machine, or partition if it is possible, just for the sake of playing some kickass abandonware.)
