I've been using DW8 (demo) since Friday and it's really very good.
I'm using it mainly in code view, but its design view does an excellent
view of rendering CSS layouts, a major improvement over MX 2004. It
means that I'm not having to preview in a browser as much.
While I almost never use it purely in design view, the code DW produces
(in at least the two most recent versions) is very much standards
compliant as far as I can tell.
The built-in validation is extremely handy, and even if you run your
pages through the w3c validator, having a validator built in saves
heaps of time.
I have no idea what Terrence means, my stock install of MX 2004
validates HTML 4.01 Transitional just fine, including scope="row".
It's all good as far as I can see :)

Samuel,
we are not talking about any version of DW, we are talking about the
latest version of dreamweaver, which seems to be promising, and seems
to be a good tool to deliver standards based sites.
I'm not sure about previous versions of DW, and what draw my attention
to DW8 is they are marketing it as the 'web standards compliant tool'
and it seems to be a fact at least till now.
