Not really, VWD is really good and I saw a lot of decent sites made with VWD. Dreamweaver is so annoying because it looks so much different than the software I'm used to. Macromedia obviously didn't read your blog post about common layouts
VWD is quite good
only thing is dream weaver lets you edit several sites at once and interact with databases. Now your gonna tell me that VWD does that also aren't you?
