My whole life I have only ever used Notepad… even for work. But everyone else used Dreamweaver 8 and I feel like an outcast.

[www.unifusion.com](http://www.unifusion.com) is the company I work for and as you can see, I manage just fine…

However, I am aware of the benifits of using DW8, as in the significant speed increase and I hear it handles includes (which I use a lot of) and CSS really well.

I guess that I have always felt like people who use it are not real coders or something… idk… amd I dumb? Should I start using it? I kinda want to… but I don’t want people looking at me like I don’t know anything… because a lot of the people who DO use it don’t know the code well.
