I will rather go for drupal CMS. There are many things a newbie will always want on their site and to achieve that in dreamweaver when you are a newbie is the same like an elephant trying to pass through the eye of a needle.
However, it will depend on what the person wants to achieve from their site
Dreamweaver isn't for newbies unless they're trying to become a pro. It is THE tool in professional web design, so if you want to be a professional web designer it's great to learn. But if you're a beginner not planning to go pro then it's overkill and overly complicated.
