It all depends on what you do. All I do is app development. We have other
people on staff who do design work only. They use Adobe Illustrator and
then open it in ImageReady or FireWorks to carve the design, but they still
hand code the HTML because that way they know more about it and it fits
within or companies coding standards.
I don't think we will ever see products like Studio, Homesite, BBEdit,
UltraEdit, etc.. go away.
I use Studio because it is the best thing there is for coding CF/HTML.
When people start using tools to build the apps and the design for them
then they start to loose most of the custom functionality that developers
can provide to a client. When we start telling a client that we cannot do
something because or EDITOR doesn't support it instead of telling them WE
cannot do that because WE don't how then we will stop pushing ourselves to
learn new technologies so that we can be successful in what we do.
Why would you go to a large development firm with a number of well
trained/experienced developers and designers when they are using the same
tool some high school kid downloaded from some ftp server somewhere and can
produce the same end result for less than half the price. I have nothing
against a high school kid doing development, hell I used to be one.
I guess my point is fancy tools that claim to do all the work for you just
don't cut it. It is one thing if that is what the client wants then that is
what they can have, but there is no substitute for understanding the theory
behind programming and in our case the web.
