For Dreamweaver it a must-have. Although it doesn't have to be fully functional. Just the code-view functions. I hardly use the WYSIWYG interface.

I am in the web development business, and i still feel that dreamweaver is a bit of a crutch. If you cannot manage your own links (or type your own code?!?!), and you require a program to do it for you, then that, by definition, would be a crutch ;) But for a nice linux equivalent, you should take a look at Quanta, which is pretty nice overall.
I reiterate a point I made earlier, mostly that people will get used to what they have been working on, and to change it and force them to try something else is the only way for them to really get a handle on a new environment. If you had nothing BUT linux to work on, you would very, very quickly learn to use its unique and (imo) interesting way of doing things. If you still use windows as well all the time, then you will take forever to really learn you linux system. I personally just went cold turkey. Once I got my box up, I decided that the only way to really learn to use it is to not allow myself to go back to something just because it was familiar to me, but to rather learn to accomplish what i needed to from what I had.
This may be just me, of course, your own mileage may vary. But it took me a surprisingly long time to finally realize this :)
[edit] And I just read the big back and forth on the previous page... :) I think the great thing that I got from everything that was said on the previous page is the linux mantra: Linux is about CHOICES! (Even if one of those choices is to have yer favorite windows app ported, because you cant be bothered to learn something new! :D ). Great stuff! [/edit]
