I get what you are say.
I think the problem is the expectations set by Adobe.
I watched the Muse intro videos and it says Adobe Muse could potentials cut out the need to use Photoshop to design comps and then develop them. They state that we could design directly in Muse. Without drawing tools and some of the other Adobe tools that is not an efficient possibility.
Based on your feedback it seems like I can use Muse as a prototyping tool if I need to do more then add hotspots which I can do in Dreamweaver.
I knew about the html thing and that is exactly what doesn't make much sense to me, I think that is an area that should be improved.
Thanks for your cents it was very helpful!
