I highly recommend u scale up from Dreamweaver, and use an editor, TextMate
is probably the best, but zillions out there. Yes I know it works fine, but
you will never move to Guru status with DW. Just my 2 rupee's. The leap is
pretty painless.
Grasshopper! => Guru => God => Grasshopper!
Dreamweaver => TextMate => vi => e
