I haven't been forced to work with a designer that uses that software, and I'm glad of it. The only designers I have personally worked with since I started freelance has used plain text editors. If a designer tells me they use Dreamweaver, I keep looking for a designer, because I want one that actually knows how to code it and not one who can only use Dreamweaver. That's what it takes when working with PHP frameworks.
I do design as well, and wouldn't dream of polluting it with something like that. I've found I can do it much more efficiently in UltraEdit. Those types of programs are just too limited. They do not handle PHP frameworks, as they are not designed to handle PHP frameworks.
It's too bad you have that to deal with. I used to have problems working with designers when I worked for a corporation and I am so thankful those days are over.
Sorry for the rant. Good luck with your project.
