I agree with you on that, except the life awry thing, lol!
modular format is a good way to develop things, I ever so hate working on old projects that have no mods to them.
My only point that some people where busting on DW as if it was another FrontPage, thus lacking the quality of such things as notepad, and real developers use only text editors to do their thing. You can use DW as a notepad with colored text, and let the system auto guess at your tags as you write them. Just another way to step up the process of the old pad.
