Yeah, WYSIWYG is more or less unusable for professional web design because doing such on a professional level requires intimate involvement in the code and has to transcend drag-n-drop of simplified components. That being said, I think the WYSIWYG is good enough in Dreamweaver CS3 to more or less get a good idea of what is going on rendering-side to save incessant IDE-browser switching. Of course, there will still be plenty of this anyway, but the Dreamweaver as an WYSIWYG can help reduce a bit of it.
