Dreamweaver MX is a _great_ app. However it does get a bit overzealous 
with SPAN tags. "I've been spammed with spans", I always think when 
working with dreamweaver MX. They are easy to remove though- just 
switch to code view and cut them out. Other than that, no code bloat 
whatsoever. It also crashes sometimes on OS X. Still a great app 
though. I use dreamweaver with PHAkt, a PHP server model that uses the 
ADODB database layer: http://www.interakt.ro/
