I'm currently building our new website for our company (were a some builders in london) and things are going well i've done all my design in photoshop, sliced it up. made a really nice looking site. I've decided to save time i'll use Dreamweaver CS5. Now this is where the problem starts.
I've used it, understand most of it.
I've got a grasp of CSS, and HTML, but when I use DW it tends to break the table layout when applying CSS to text. Now where my problem lies is the fact that i've used Expression Web before, and have been using this without issue (other than Firefox not centering my table when IE will) now if I use DW it will center, but I end up breaking the tables with CSS, so far out weighs the centering problem i can fix myself.
In a round abour way i'm asking is there any reason I should use Dreamweaver, when Expression Web seems to do a better job? I can correct the centering problem myself, so using Expression Web isn't an issue. But people talk about Dream Weaver like it is the bee's knee's, frankly so far i've found it to be a half arsed program, which makes even simple tasks difficult and time consuming. So i'm failing to see reason to use it. However with such buzz around it I feel I should get insight into what I may be ignoring.
So if someone can give me a constructive conclusion, or even a small comparison would be most welcome.
