Is anyone using the new Drupal editing features in Dreamweaver CS5? I watched a video that was impressive, but it was based on editing a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver CS5. I am wondering if there is any information out there about using it on a Drupal site; videos, tutorials, podcasts, articles.
Purchasing Dreamweaver CS5 is a hefty $399. I don't mind laying out the cash if it actually works, but if all it does is create more mangled code for me to repair, I can't see the point. I'm hesitant to download the trial version and clutter up my box as I have heard uninstalling it can be a nightmare.

I was going to download the trial and see. I may try and do it tonight if I get a chance. Let you know
Great article - what about Acquia?
...and finally a somewhat straight answer on the role Drupal plays and the role Dreamweaver potentially plays in the process of web development.
I am very proficient with Dreamweaver, but barely know how to spell Drupal. My hosting service offers free Drupal install (on their servers). I did that and attempted to import the structure into my Dreamweaver environment. Things are not working as advertised, meaning live view does not render a page. All I get is the text view of index.php.
Somewhere, I saw comments that indicated that Acquia Drupal should be installed. I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6 and Apache comes with.

Here's a repost of my reply to a similar discussion node:
I have been presenting for years about this topic. Here's some videos on Adobe's website (one or two are mine) about using Dreamweaver with Drupal. http://tv.adobe.com/search/?q=drupal

Hey there! I have tested
Hey there!
I have tested drupal but not thoroughly. Actually, i have been using tutorials from Chris Charlton who wrote above, which I find very useful. The thing that kept me away from dreamweaver is, that I can see the live View of the index.php in in the root of my drupal installation, but when I open the node.tpl.php inside my theme (a Tao subtheme) and I try to get a Live View I get:

I tried to get that error fixed, watched a lot of videos but then I get the error everytime, although the settings seem to be correctly entered. If this thing can be resolved, then I guess Dreamweaver could actually be useful.
Any thoughts?
local server drupal path needed
Assuming you have a local server with DB setup... You need to point DW to a Drupal path i.e.: http://localhost/node/xzy
Then the live code works great.
Thanx for the reply. I have
Thanx for the reply. I have entered all the data in the fields as described in all of the guides I have followed. Where do I need to enter this one exactly? here is a screenshot of my dreamweaver's server info:
