Oh, I forgot to say something: you can also add custom snippets. In the NetTuts post, for example, Sergey (the creator of ZenCoding) showed how to add a "lorem" snippet so that it will add the dummy text (which you can use for something like div#container>div#content>p>lorem or something like that). He shows how to do it on Coda I think, but you can edit the settings file on most (if not all) editors. In my previous like you'll find how to do it on Aptana. On Dreamweaver CS4 (in Windows), the file is located in: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration\Commands\ZenCoding\zen_settings.js

I've been using it for a few days (since a post on NetTuts) and it's really awesome. I've made some screencasts for those who had problems installing it on Aptana (you can check it on the ZenCoding wiki).

It's worth noting that it also works on the e texteditor (which is like TextMate for Windows). You have to download the 3 files for TextMate and install them in C:\Users\{yourusername}\Application Data\e\Bundles and you'll be ready to go.

Download the textmate plugin, and use TAB to expand the code.
