If there's ONE advantage more than any other that I am grateful for, it's that I started building web sites back in January of 95. Netscape 0.9 beta was the browser to beat all browsers, however the majority of surfers were still using Linx (a text based browser - NO images!), and there were about 30 others on the market that year... Mosaic, Netcom, Prodigy...
So I had NO CHOICE back then but to learn raw HTML, yes, using NOTEPAD. Of course for the past several years I've been using HomeSite, however when I'm out at a client's and there's a quick fix to be had, I always just open NotePad. Billy's good for SOME software after all!
