If you want a performant, well structured and easy to maintain web application, you HAVE to put it together with some kind of text editor. And in fact, just using TextMate and it's autocompletion and macros, everyone who has decent HTML+CSS knowledge will be able to assemble a well designed page very quickly, whether you start from a Photoshop mockup or not. Any dedicated and respected web agency these days "handcodes" their designs.
But hey, if table-based design or table-based design where <tr> is replaced with <div> is your kind of thing, go ahead and use Dreamweaver, Frontpage or Microsoft Word. You're going to hit a concrete wall when you actually have to make those designs dynamic (with any web app language for that matter) and your pages will have more body than most ppl who had Thanksgiving yesterday.
