I've always been a fan of hand coding in Dreamweaver, used MX mostly until I bought the iBook and moved up to Panther. After some issues with MX, went to using BBEdit full time.

Had liked what I saw of the new version of GoLive (CS) back in November when I saw it at a show, but after downloading the trial I removed it rather quickly. Used MX2004 on a Win machine and found it to be a much better enviroment than GoLive.

Broke down 3 weeks ago and upgraded to Studio MX 2004, but still use BBEdit for personal sites. Just depends on what I feel like coding in. Both DW MX04 and BBEdit have their advantages and disadvantages. BBEdit is fast (gui) and rather simple. DW has some nice auto complete features.

You'll have to figure out if something like DW or BBEdit are worth the cost to you or not. There are some cheaper/free alt.s out there too.
