I really like the code-editor in DW, it points out errors and hitting ctrl-space gives me a list of tags and the arguments always. So I handcode in DW. Also the CSS editor is nice for times when you don't want to type that css file for hours.

Also recommended for handcoding is TopStyle Pro/Lite, it has as good a code-editor as DW and very good CSS support.
