Dreamweaver users should consider ThemeDreamer. It unlocks Dw's potential so that you can open WordPress theme files in Design View and leverage most all of Dw's ability to manipulate HTML (like drag n drop, CSS, etc). Bonuses are code hints and context sensitive documentation to WordPress's online reference manual. Before/After shots of of what a WordPress theme file looks like without it speaks for itself!

This is a great link, and I rushed over there to fix up a theme for my site. However, it took me a while, and I still couldn't quite get the look I wanted. Then I went to download it, and the file won't unzip! According to the forums on the site, people are using this program, but it is not without its flaws. I am going home to pull down the reference manual and figure out how to tweak my theme myself.
