Scott,

I think the reaction may have been a bit over the top. However, your comment
immediately after that of, "I have no earthly idea where even to start
without dreamweaver holding my hand" may have been the red flag for them.
Not that you said that, but they might have gleaned as much.

I love Dreamweaver. Absolutely love it. However, I work mostly in code view.
I like the site management tools and immediate validation/checking tools
built into it. (The later catches most all of my stuff, before I have to go
through a "publish and then validate at W3C" cycle.)

Regardless, Dreamweaver is just one of the tools in my arsenal. It is the
main one, but I also use TopStyle, CSE HTML Validator, and even HomeSite
5.5+. I also use the Firebug and Web Developer add-ons for Firefox.

As Tim said, the end result is the coding. And, FWIW, as good as
Dreamweaver's coding might be, CSS (and JavaScript and server-side) coding
done by hand is typically much cleaner, leaner, and "sticks in your braind".

Also, given the response from the prospective employer, would you really
want to work there anyway? 

...Rob
