I whole-heartedly agree that databases and mysql are the best option for large/complicated sites. But I would also say that (and I am in this group) most people looking for an extension aren't developing a site like amazon..because if we were..an extension just wouldn't cut the mustard. And they surely wouldn't be using Dreamweaver for that matter either. I build quick sites that only need maybe quarterly updating. If you need that robust, update your content every fifteen minutes..by all means go with the mysql option. And you do have a point with the file corruption, that is why after I build a site...then populate the editable fields...always always always have that file backed up somewhere so you can just re-publish it if your server fails you
