There are many, many, many professionals using Dreamweaver. Obviously you're just not exposed to the high-end coding that takes place at some corporations.

Not as much as some I'm sure, but I have been doing web development, and pretty much nothing but, for quite a few years (since I was a teenager). Never have I seen a *profesional* company that used Dreamweaver or any similar programs to develop their sites. I have seen a few companies that have used programs like that, but I certainly wouldn't call them professional. I've worked for some rather large web development companies in the past and worked with clients for them such as Coca-Cola, Home Depot, Chick-Fil-A, and Tensar Corp (you may not be familiar with them, but they are a huge company around here and I did QUITE a bit of the work on their site). So I think it's safe to say that I've been exposed to some "high-end" coding.
And either way, that's just my opinion about the program and nothing more. I've never had a need for it and always thought it better to just do the code the good ol' fashoned way with a simple text editor and Photoshop. If it helps you out then great, take advantage of the tool. For me though, the few times I've used it, or been given a site to work on that used it, it took me more time to clean up the coding that the program put out than it would have for me just to write everything myself. A site may look good in the end result, but I still consider it crap if the coding is not done well.
