Pfft. Dreamweaver (and even FrontPage) were perfectly fine back in the pre-IE6 days when they dominated. People today crap on using <TABLE>'s for grid formatting, just as we crap on 1990's Java code for its `AbstractStrategyFactoryFactory` excesses. Because it's "what people did back in the bad old days", and is a glaring red flag that one's skills are out of date. But whereas OO design patterns are a matter of subjective debate, early HTML4 and prior just flat out didn't have modern mechanism for separating presentation and content. CSS 1.x was very limited, and no major web browser even seriously supported that until the year 2000. CSS 2.x didn't get real until the 2010's. Would any professional use Dreamweaver today? Of course not. But it was an appropriate tool for its time.
