I use it at work only because I'm still on a lousy PC (anxiously awaiting a Mac) and that's what they have installed. In my opinion Dreamweaver has fallen behind in features and now ranks just above FrontPage. I agree with you 100% in regards to Dreamweaver.

Apparently this is something they're working on. For me Cyberduck has some nice features including integration with Textmate. I've set the two apps up so that I can open a file and edit it directly on the server - no local copies involved. It's great for minor updates. As you say though, there's no major differences between them. It's more about what I ended up trialling and and felt largely comfortable with. I will say though that all of the above are far better options than Dreamweaver.

I've never used Cyberduck before, but it does look good. I normally use either the FTP feature from CODA or CaptainFTP. I guess they're all relatively close in features. Does Cyberduck have any added features that you prefer over another FTP client? Thank you for the comment Mark. I’ve never used Cyberduck before, but it does look good.

I am not saying it is superior to Opera in all respects -- Opera has several better aspects in my opinion. But the extensions and the clean look and feel of Firefox really make it shine.
