I've used DreamWeaver and Visual studio, but I work in "Edit Markup"
mode instead of "GUI" mode. (I agree with Patrick regarding the non-
elegance of GUI-generated code.)
But, in Edit Markup mode, I rely heavily on Visual Studio and ReSharper's
IntelliSense (auto-completion) to avoid coding errors.
Regards,
Ed
