But if you're a freelancer and the DBA works for the web-hosting enterprise,
it can be very funny!

portability to other platform = search-replace OCIwhatever to mysqlwhatever.
reuse of code = copy-paste-modify
:-DDDDD
You don't know what hellish programming gadgets i had to invent in order to
make some places of "my" website to work...

Well, you can always call M$ windoze a "diabolical visual OS" :-)

Yeah. Since i learnt pure HTML code, and having seen what a *clean* code
generates M$ frontpage, i decided not to work with *any* visual web page
generator.
Perhaps i'm extrapolating, but i did it it way, and now it could be hard for
me to change.
> that's scary. but do whatever you want!
Well, it's my style right now, and that way i'm going well. Perhaps i'll
change with time, but...
