As long as you're not using anything that is completely dependent upon Dreamweaver. I'm not a Dreamweaver user myself (I'm still using GoLive CS), so I'm not sure if it has it's own idiosyncrasies like FrontPage (I'm guessing it doesn't, however).

Your best bet would be to start out with Kompozer and continue to use it. Chances are you will learn a lot more about coding by using Kompozer. Another option is TopStyle which integrates CSS.
