I use DWMX and am generally quite happy with it. Few little annoyances -
I cant attach <br> to a keyboard shortcut - it always puts a line break
afterwards that is not tabbed. I like the sites idea - very easy to
synchronise. 

The major gripe is that it always crashes when I try to save fusebox
index files which have an include act_ file in. very strange.

I find that hard to accept. I played around with DWMX for a  day and in
frustration gave up and went back to the beloved Studio 5.

RDS seems to have been replaced (and this is from memory) with something
that's actually more like FTP. If you want to edit a remote file, you
actually download it to your machine, edit it and then reupload it,
rather than editing the remote file directly. That means that (if I was
using it right) you have at least 3 copies of any web site; the
production copy on the server, your local development copy and the odds
and sods files that are created when you use DMWX's RDS.

Plus I found the descriptions used when setting up a new Sites
confusing; it wasn't obvious what each field related to. Must confess
that I didn't RTFM, but by that time the editing window itself was
starting to annoy me with it's slow response (and does it also have
Alt-Tab issues?). Not quite as bad as the ActionScript edit window in
Flash (my *God* that is one *shit* editing window), but getting there.
