The Photoshop integration, though not as thorough as it could be, is still great. Now you can simply copy from Photoshop and paste into Dreamweaver CS3--no intermediate "Save for web" step is required. I think you're overselling "Device Central," however. It doesn't always provide an accurate picture of what a page will look like in a particular browser. Although Device Central includes lots of mobile phone profiles (complete with cute pictures of each phone), it renders the page using the Opera Mini browser--this is not the only Web browser used in phones, so what Device Central displays may not come even close to the actual view provided by the particular mobile device.

I use ASP.Net for server-side and Visual Studio is good for handling that.. I think developers will go for a different IDE for server-side, like eclipse and Visual Studio, unless they code Cold Fusion / PHP apps.
