Several years yet? IE7 is now a Microsoft recommended download, and 
virtually all PCs for sale post-January ship with Vista, and, 
inherently, IE7. The next couple of months will be very telling, but I 
reckon things may be about to change.

A lot of arrogant developers(TM) I know are telling me I'm an idiot to 
still spend so much time spoon-feeding IE6, and argue that I should just 
tell my clients that they should be looking at things with IE7. Of 
course, I can't quite take this idea seriously.

I'm one of those who'd go against Dreamweaver because I consider it a 
very bloated program that detracts you from the real nuts and bolts of 
your product.

The auto-complete and browser support warnings are useful, and if you 
want these I recommend a far better program that is absolutely 
non-bloated and purpose-built for css: Paul Young's StyleSpread. It's in 
beta right now and is set to get even better, plus it's free. 
Windows-only, but then if you're a css designer without Windows you have 
far bigger things to worry (or not worry) about!
