>>>They are not the same thing and they are bundled together but HS has just
as much functionality, bells & whistles as DW. Have you used both?<<<

I have used both HomeSite and Dreamweaver.  They perform many similar
functions in different ways, but I think we should be careful not to mislead
people who may be looking to spend money here.  HomeSite is a programmer's
text editor with many tools not available to Dreamweaver, while DW is
primarily a WYSIWYG environment.

Which of those a given designer prefers is probably highly dependant upon
that designer....different people relate to the world in different ways.
Some people need a visual environment to do their best work, while others
need to conceptualize the work through a text interface.  This is probably
what makes it so hard for each camp to understand the other's viewpoint.

I personally prefer Dreamweaver for beginning design formatting and
small-medium site management...including templates.  I use EditPlus for
Perl, and sometimes PHP and often JavaScript.  I also use HTML-Kit (free and
quite full of tools and extras) for HTML hand coding and PHP coding.

Know what?  Works for me...:)
