Quantas mysql support is GREAT. I've been tryin' out DW, and found that 
autogenerated code had about ten lines do nothin but to connect to a $db. 
(TEN LINES! as in 10), say I know the macromedia (adobe now?) team is trying 
to make it simple and for everyone, but learning bad code as how to do stuff?
It's the developers job to make the database react, the project editor is just 
going to use it and the design is to tell when.
Code has to be streamlined and easy understanding, and quanta learns you howto 
and use google as "RTFM".
