Ok, I just can't stay out any longer!!  Hasn't *anyone* tried to use the
HotDog editor?  I have used The Dawg for years now and am very satisfied
with it.  It is very similar to Homesite, BUT ... I feel it's better and the
customer support one receives is outstanding.  I do a mixture of hand coding
and allowing the program give me the code.  I feel that to truly understand
our creations, much like the calculator/math comment, we must first crawl
before we try to run.  Learn the basics, then expound on them.

While I dislike FP, it can have it's place for those who ONLY wish to edit
the text of their sites, BUT ... if one uses both FP *and* ftp to send files
... watch out!  The site may well break :O(

and that's *my* two cents!

Really my favorite thing (yeah right!).  But I must agree that it's good to 
know.  I use Dreamweaver on a regular basis and find it an exceptional 
tool.  However, there have been instances where I needed to either rewrite 
some coding the application put in or do a quickie fix on something in 
notepad.  Then it really helps to know how to hard code.

Just my two cents.
