I have been a NetObjects Fusion user and lover for many years.

I think it is a lot more intuitive to use than Dreamweaver although as many will be quick to point out, it does create large files due to the tables it automatically creates to place your elements on the page. (If you are careful of your object placement and visulize what kind of table you are creating, you can greatly increase the effeciency of the page).

It automatically genrerates roll over buttons and banners for each page using your art or the built in styles.

I'm not a professional at this and have never used Dreamweaver, but I've had good experiences with Namo WebEditor. You can find it at:

Did you use the MX version of Dreamweaver ? I am much more happy with it than with previous ones.

Kindly,

Ivan's answer... MX version is better...

in that NOF7 (new update available, I believe) is intuitive and is sitecentric. Having said that, I intend to learn DW very soon. Everyone seems to be impressed by MX over previous versions

I agree that MX is better but there are still one or two irritants eg the Paste function which sometimes carries html and sometimes messes with the < and > characters. There is a Paste HTML shortcut but my brain can't cope with it.

However, from long and bitter experience with software, if you pick something else (and pay for it) there will be a different handful of gotchas.

I still use Textpad with DW MX - it is still vital for several tasks.

I am using Serif's PagePlus PDF. It's a WYSIWYG DTP (desk top publishing) web editor. The only bad thing is that you have to rebuild your current site. It does not allow for importation of sites created with another program.

Since this is my first site it's fine for me but if you need your editor to allow for this then I would look elsewhere. It's quite easy to use and for the price it's not too bad and for a little more you get a resource CD that has a bunch of usefull stuff on it. Here is the link to the products price page:
