There is a horrible disservice being perpetrated on young web designers and web design students: that learning Dreamweaver is anything but irrelevant to your needs. We are in a Web 2.0 world, where semantic CSS and clean xhtml are the standard. And yet university art and design departments continue to push Dreamweaver as some sort of useful skill. We see Dreamweaver knowledge listed at the top of a frighteningly large percentage of applications for web design positions at pingVision. (Personally, I'd rather receive an enthusiastic note about the ideas in Andy Clarke's Transcending CSS or William Lidwell, Kritina Holden and Jill Butler's Universal Principles of Design.)
