DW, no question. FP is a bastardized WYSIWYG program that inserts all 
kinds of proprietary, non-standard HTML.

You can argue that it's just a prototype and you'll be throwing it 
away. But with DW, which is more of an environment than a WYSIWYG 
editor, you can produce standards based prototypes and learn how to 
build real standards based products. Not to mention, there's a whole 
world of extensions out there for DW which increase productivity (see 
Macromedia's Exchange) and it's pretty much "the" standard. Yes, there 
are others that are used, but they hold the market, which in this case 
isn't a bad thing.

Cheers!

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In reality, they are not.
