@Malkon, can you list free tools which is better than the Dreamweaver? Dreamweaver don't generate dirty code. If you don't use it and don't know this tool, do not talk about it.

Answer 10

@DMT, how do u know I don't know what I'm talking about? Calm down, man, it's just my opinion, this is a community and we're arguing. In my opinion, by principle any free software is better than proprietary software and about being lazy, this was a joke, relax. Here is a list of alternatives, in my opinion, better than Dreamweaver:

I'm not against building websites with tools like dreaweaver, but since the developer knows what he's doing, otherwise unnecessary things are added to the code so it gets dirty and it becomes difficult to read and modify. Furthermore dirty code is perfect to have bugs and be exploited.
