Firstly I'm a graphic designer by trade and only over the last six months have a started programming in perl, so this has always been a major gripe of mine.

I agree with all but one of mavericks points. I use dreamweaver every day and I love it. Yes I can live without out it but when you are working to a deadline it produces clean code quickly.

The use of a html templating system shouldn't be restricted to large sites.

example:
YESTERDAY: I wrote a site the other day that has a set of 30 thumbnails with large versions plus 8 normal pages. Rather than make 30 pages I wrote a script to look for the image name plus '_lrg.jpg'. Then a regex later and it dumps the image into my existing dreamweaver template and pipes that to display.
TODAY: After a phone call I added a page to the site and only had to add one link in the template.
