I guess I'm missing something here, but I thought we were talking about RDS/FTP in the open/save dialog. I know all this fussing can't be because DW asks you to tell it where you want any local files stored for each site, that's only a few moments to declare, and the advantages are awesome. Once you become familiar with the app, you'll probably see what "goodies" a site definition gets you. It's not all about holding your hand!
As far as hand coding, you can hand-code to your heart's desire in Dreamweaver. Does DW prefer you use a site defition? Yes. But I'm not sure how that intereferes with hand-coding. And you don't have to wizard anything! You don't have to use anything pre-canned. Dreamweaver was originally built to appeal to the hand-coder, but with some "canned" stuff (as someone referred to it) to make life easier. That being said, we are including HomeSite+ with Dreamweaver MX. So, in this first encarnation of the merged environments, you have the old IDE at your disposal, and an opportunity to tell us what about DWMX you want changed in the future. Get in there and give it the "college try" and tell us what doesn't work for you using DWMX as your IDE. (And along the way, you might get hooked on it, and decide the site definitions aren't such a bad thing when all is said and done!) http://www.macromedia.com/support/email/wishform?6213=6 Vernon Viehe Community Manager Macromedia, Inc.
