I echo this to an extent. Once you learn the language, Dreamweaver can save you a lot of time from doing monotonous coding. Plus, I've found it really cool to just be able to click the update button and see what you've done all in the same program.
If you're looking to learn HTML and the basics for CSS,PHP, and really any other web language, check out the O'Reilly book
Web Design In A Nutshell. Using only it as a reference, I was able to hand code some pretty decent websites while having no experience before hand.
Remember - Editing programs like Dreamweaver are your friend. Just don't rely on them as a crutch.
