There are a number of places that do comparisons. Try CNet,
Ziff-Davis, IDG, and Hotwired, for starters. I think all of them
have published comparisons, and I know that Dreamweaver has won the
"shootout" in most of them. the other issue you might want to look
at is HTML 4.0 standards compliance. In my somewhat limited
experience I have found that Microsoft employees like to change the
subject when that comes up.
