It has some drawbacks, it's a pretty big resource hog. You don't really want it to do any of your coding for you, especially Javascript or you'll get garbage. I use it mostly as a text editor. I like the code hinting, auto-completing of tags, and the FTP file manager. It's nice to have everything all in one application. Additionally, when configured properly you can make some pretty nice templates for yourself if you always use the same shell for a site. (It declares my DOCTYPE for me, and I set it to declare Unicode for charset since the default is ISO.) If you're comfortable with TextMate though, I wouldn't bother switching. TextMate is a pretty good value, Dreamweaver is considerably more expensive. I'm also a fan of BBEdit. I really love Dreamweaver, and I haven’t used the WSIWYG features for years.
