In my limited experience with Plone (it powers my personal site) I 
wouldn't choose it again for what I need there....but I'm lazy and since 
  I put the effort into making it work, it suffices for now.

That's often decided in retrospect.  I think Dreamweaver is yet another 
tool in the developers toolbox.  It has it's uses.  I don't use a hammer 
when I need a screw driver; the skill is knowing when/what to use it for 
and not trying to make it more then it is.

All my development is based on building on top of the CMF and therefore 
I make sure all my actions are templates with .html extensions.....

I'll try to write up my madness on zope.org sometime; it definately 
won't work for everyone - but I think it's a solid way of using 
dreamweaver with Zope.  I've got a way of using the Dreamweaver 
templating and Library objects with Zope that I think is pretty cool.
At the end of the day, the tolerability factor is determined by the 
audience of those files.  I did it for web designers - not engineers.
