I am not saying Dreamweaver (or Frontpage) are bad tools. Far from it. I actually use Dreamweaver to maintain my own site, but tend to use the WYSIWYG elements while laying out the page, and then bung my own code in where appropriate.

It's just that as soon as you start using the more advanced WYSIWYG features of Dreamweaver, it has a tendancy to bung Javascript, JScript or VB Script at the top. This is obviously there to perform whatever function the user selected, but it can make what is happening harder to understand for the newbie (or for seasoned hacks).
