The responses in this thread are astounding.
#1 editing PHP files is not recommended and has nothing to do with changing the appearance of vBulletin.
#2 The appearance of vBulletin is determined by HTML templates (160 different snippets of HTML pieced together to make up each page) and the Style Sheet, both of which are managed through the vBulletin Admin Control Panel.
You can change the borders, spacing, and colors of vBulletin without any HTML knowledge. To rearrange items in vBulletin's layout, you will need a rudimentary knowledge of HTML.
You cannot edit this HTML in Dreamweaver because of interdependencies and PHP variables which will not evaluate properly.

Which again goes back to a suggestion I made a while back about implementing a WYSIWYG editor (dreamweaver type) inside the admincp, one that will properly set the variables and classes as needed.
This would make vBulletin the first to create such a system for creating skins inside the admin control panel.

Sometimes you need to do some PHP edits if you're customizing it. These types of edits are fewer and farer between with the product hook system that was implemented a while back.
Granted, if it's only the appearance you want to tweak, that's what the built in style manager is for. vB has made some efforts to give people a hand in that area such as the template history system and compare.Call no man happy until he is dead - Voltaire
