I'm with you 100% on the auto-indent and syntax highlighting. I couldnt do without it!

Still do alot of hand coding in dreamweaver, but it can save some major time. I recommend giving it a try matt, quite versatile.

The code that dreamweaver produces is, for lack of a better term, ugly. It's not compliant to anything, and it never will be. The only way you'll ever get fully compliant code is if you code by hand. And I'm not gonna risk saving time if I can't do it right.

Besides, I can code by hanmd just as fast as someone can point-and-click in dreamweaver. And my code is good

Well, DW MX 2004 is actually quite good with compliency if you select the checkbox when creating new file. I agree with you in many things, but Macromedia has teamed up with W3 ppl and theyre improving quite a bit.

What do you use for syntax highlighting and all those standard goodies?
I would like to find something a bit faster loading than DW...

i use zend ide... but if you just look online for a free php/html ide, i'm sure you'll find a decent one.

If I am doing photo editing or graphic design I use a combinate of jasc psp 7, adobe ps or corel paint. for programming i use notepad and dreamweaver. but for software design i use word, notepad, blitzbasic and visual studio. i am also making my own engine.
