I use dreamweaver mx 2004 in code view to hand code sites - the xhtml
and css code-completion are excellent and definately speed things up.

I also use the site manager as an ftp client - once the local and
remote sites have been designed, you can just right click a file and
"put" and it will automatically end up in the correct folder on the
live site, even creating the folders for you if they are not there.

I never use dreamweaver in "wysiwyg" view because it can't cope with
advanced css layouts, and I  would definately avoid all the other
stuff, especially the javascript it produces...
