Surfn, don't tell me you

HAND

CODE?|shocking|

The mere thought of it sends my hands reeling for the phonebook to call an orthopedist.

It's actually faster once you learn it

Well, CuteHTML is an HTML editor, not a wysiwyg thingy. It's all raw code. But Cute color codes the tags and somewhat intuitively offers up up tag options as you work. In other words, if you type table, then hit space, a little box pops up and you can choose select width, height, class, etc if you'd like. It's like notepad, but with some frills. The color coding can be very helpful when scanning the code for problems. If you don't know any HTML, then it probably wouldn't help you. If you know a little, it will help you learn a lot more.

For me, it's damn near indispensable at this point. As far as switching to another - I don't know why I would.

It really comes down to what you're used to using.

Even though I use Dreamweaver in WYSIWYG design view for the "bulldozer" work, I spend about 70% of my time in code view. Best of both worlds. Although I first learned HTML, and programming too, years ago doing it all by hand.

I agree with Surfn..alot easier hand coding. Best part about this is when you have a problem you can find it easier

Yanno...that's an excellent point

When someone asks about using an editor vs. hand coding, I don't usually even think about the huge advantage of knowing html when troubleshooting.

Knowing html also almost vital when reviewing sites. Being able to spot sneaky things quickly when viewing source code is another big benefit to being comfortable with hand coding
