Designing websites with Dreamweaver

In this past course we learned about Dreamweaver, and how it's possible to create a decent looking webpage without knowing much about HTML or CSS.  However, for me, the benefit to using Dreamweaver is the tips it gives you while typing out the script.  Since I can't always remember the HTML tag names or the names of the CSS rules, it's very helpful to have the tip pop up and show the list of possibilities.
Also, the split view between design and code is nice.  Getting used to how HTML and CSS work can be tricky, so being able to see the results of what your doing quickly is handy.  Design view is good for positioning elements and playing with image sizes and colors.  The templates and site system work great for updating and managing files and links.
Using Dreamweaver speeds up the design process, I like using it!
