My thoughts exactly. MM may choose to characterize Studio as an end-of-life product but that doesn't mean developers will treat it as such until Dreamweaver MX (or a competitor) provides a suitable environment to move to...with "suitable" being defined by each individual developer rather than by MM.
Failing to provide simple tag updates and help files for existing Studio users may seem like a good idea to the marketing droids looking for upgrade revenue but can easily be intepreted as abandoning enthusiastic developers. And there are plenty of extensible code editors out there that will gladly pick up that ball if MM drops it.

I mean it's not true first off, and second you know as well as I do that a lot of hand coders still don't care for the coding environment in DWMX. Just my couple of pennies.

I'll just add some tips to this -- when you want to select the whole <fusedoc></fusedoc> section then hold down Ctrl+Shift and double click on the start or end tag. Also assign a keyboard shortcut to that XML validator script, I assigned Ctrl+Shift+X. So now I press Ctrl+Shift then double click and then press X and Steve's validator runs. Oh, and if you want an icon for this validator then you use the one I attached to this message. Thanks again Steve, this tool rocks the rockin' horse house!
