I can't speak for GoLive (and in fact, the bloated code GoLive 3 or
4.x produced was one of the reasons I rejected it) but at least
Dreamweaver can. We use it every day. We do some manual cleanup on
some pages, some of the time, and we tolerate some imperfections at
times, but for the most part, it produces pages that work very well
in a wide range of browsers and platforms and mostly pass HTML
checking.
We make fairly basic pages, no layers, little Javascript, no
rollovers, etc. The list of layout features we do not use is long.
Used judiciously, Dreamweaver is a very useful tool and gives my
designers greater productivity.
