Back in the days of table-based layouts, first drafting a layout in
Dreamweaver was the best use of that program I know.  I'd put image
slices in a table in their right places and add rows and columns as
needed, do colspans and rowspans as needed, set widths and other
attributes as needed then collapse the borders, spacing, and padding
to nothing and hand edit the code from there on.

Dreamweaver was also early on one of the better tools available to
manage CSS and entire sites, as well as it's xhtml-checking abilities.

It was also a good way to crank out a whole bunch of form elements in
a couple seconds and then hand-tweak each one as needed.

But it's been several years since I used Dreamweaver for development.
Cake does make it somewhat useless.  I still would turn to Dreamweaver
as a good tool for producing quick IA mockups for a client though.
