Default Popularity of Dreamweaver

Is Adobe's program Dreamweaver one of the most popular programs used to build webpages? Is there an "industry standard" used for page building? I know Microsoft has FrontPage, but I already have Dreamweaver, and I thought I'd use it as long as one can do really good things with it. It's complex, but I could always learn it.

Thanks.

Yep Dreamweaver is the industry standard authoring software for html pages. But you do find more and more sites are run by php based content management systems, where everything is saved to an online database and page content is added vis integrated tools. The template that provides the site design may well have been built in Dreamweaver. Many designers are producing page layout by CSS now, and Dreamweaver used to be heavily into tables and layers for page layout but then again I don't have the more recent versions and am unsure about CS3's implementation of CSS for page builing but I bet its all in there.

There used to be a big battle between Dreamweaver and Frontpage. For the most part I think that Dreamweaver has won out, but it's largely an issue of preference. Personally, I think that Dreamweaver is much more useful and user-friendly.

Dreamweaver easy to use and have modern tags.
Designing of a site very easy here. Dreamweaver certainly gives you good control and has lots of advanced features, hence it's popularity.

I prefer Adobe DW, much better quality product than FrontPage. If your gonna use a Microsoft product use Visual Studio not FP.

I prefer using Dreamweaver. I find Frontpage a bit complicated, maybe because I'm not very familiar with many of its functions.

Dreamweaver is not that hard as it may seem at first. You should consider watching a Dreamweaver tutorial and knowledge of HTML is a must in spite the fact that Dreanweaver automates the whole web design process and it is supposed to be used even by those who do not know HTML.
