I am the same way...the only time the wysiwyg part comes up if there is a table that just isn't cooperating. I could probably count the number of times I have used the WYSIWYG iinterface on DW on both hands over the past 3 or 4 years since Macromedia bought Allaire and they decided to can CFStudio.
I wish they would take the coding interface and just release a version with that. Or better yet...just rerelease studio *grin* I shouldn't have to configure an ide just to use it. That is a very 80's and early 90's thing. Tweaking and configuring are fine for servers and stuff like that, but an IDE should be fine right out of the box (sans any extra plugins and the such). It shouldn't take a day or 2 to get your IDE in a state where you can finally start coding. That is very amateurish. If I wanted to work in a linux environment...I would do that. The point behind tools like DW is so that you donât have to do everything by hand. There is no need to do everything by hand...that's just not the most efficient way to code. Tools like the tag editor (for example...and yes I know CFEclipse has this) not only speed up coding, but free me up from having to remember every tiny detail of all of the tags and from having to look them up when I need them. CTRL-Z and CTRL-Shift-Z for example is pretty standard. Those are one of the few keyboard shortcuts that I do use...but I do use them often. Documentation would be great...something that hasn't been the best for Eclipse. Again...you shouldn't have to slog your way through users forums and stuff like that to find out how to use an IDE. The interface should be self documenting (and intuitive) and there should be decent help files available.

I personally use DW8 all day long, could not even tell you how to use any WYSIWYG features in it and really do not use it any different than I used Studio/Homesite. I simply made the change because it was the tool the rest of the group here used and they too do not use it really any differently than they used Studio/Homesite.
