Dreamweaver V/s Coda

[bekbuck]

I know this question might meet with some resistance, as most of you code by hand. However, jump into this one from a designer's point of view. Not necessarily solely a WYSIWYG visual editor, since I know enough CSS and HTML to get around, but more of a quick and helpful tool to get things done. I have always relied on dreamweaver CS3 due to its easy, one-click, php/mysql programming - since I know neither well especially PHP (This is a big one to consider).

I have decided to learn enough to be able to query recordsets, since that is the fullest extent of my needs, so my focus is now on something that has a CSS builder that is helpful and makes bringing HTML together quick and efficient. I like the way DW works in the coding envrionment, inserting and completing tags with a button, and it's quick preview capablities but from the look of Panic Software's site, Coda offers almost all the things I need in a nice $99 package.(Yes I am on a Mac Pro - I am a musician)

So I guess I really want to know what you Coda users think of the program. When I imported my designer's finished site into dreamweaver, the preview in CS3 was completely unuseable - seriously. The WSIWYG aspect of dreamweaver falls apart with some of the newer and more efficient CSS and java/ajax elements. I have been using code view since then to make small changes. Does Coda do well when importing your sites? Does it offer the power and quick tools DW does?

In the end upgrading isn't an option since I bought CS3 on an education license, and I don't want to pay the money for the new education version if I can get Coda for cheap - I only use Fireworks and Flash from the suite anyway(I hate Illustrator and Photoshop - just don't understand them).

I suggest dream weaver because it has :-
1) The Code Inspector
2) Results Window
3) Templates and Nested Templates
4) Snippets
5) Commands

Dreamweaver is better than the coda as I have used it many times and it has a fast speed and it works great. Due to efficiency to do more work and without producing errors I prefer it than Coda.

I haven't used Coda but I'd go with Dreamweaver with how much helpful tutorials there is about it out there. It's more popular and has an easy to use interface. But Dreamweaver is very expensive once your free trial ends.
