Due to a resounding lack of interest (of the few people that emailed, some
even emailed just to let me know that in the past such ideas didn't develop
much momentum), and conflicting requests from those who were interested (I
got a few "don't bother with anything but _" requests), it doesn't lo
I'd think it has most to do with the size of site. If it's "big" as
you said, probably dynamically built so really no place for
Dreamweaver or any kind of WYSIWYG editing. Most dynamic sites will
require very piecemeal code for the programmer to put together later.

Back in 1999 I was hired as the only front end guy on a team with 5 other
Perl and Java programmers all working in UNIX or Linux machines.
My nickname was "Mr. Clicky-Clicky". Yea real funny. I had been using DW

I believe that using a WYSIWY(M)G editor before learning how to hand

I use Dreamweaver, but use code-view most of the time. I know the
limitations of Dreamweaver.
When I was looking for a job I stressed the fact that I wrote CSS and

Scott,
I think the reaction may have been a bit over the top. However, your comment
immediately after that of, "I have no earthly idea where even to start
without dreamweaver holding my hand" may have been the red flag for them.
Not that you said that, but they might have gleaned as much.

I'll bite.
I haven't seen any comprehensive surveys about css development habits and I
certainly think it'd be an interesting thing to get some more information
on.
I'd certainly be open to suggestions about questions/topics. In the interest
of keeping Off Topic posts off of the list, I'd ask tha
I could hand code all day long using only a text editor like Notepad or
Crimson editor.
But, I use DW's code view to build most everything, because as I type HTML
and CSS it beautifully suggests what I begin to type and finishes it (if I
so choose). This speeds up my coding big time.

I think you should use DW more as training wheels in the beginning to learn
how the actual code works. I am now a 100% hand coder, but I started off
with Dreamweaver and learned the html things I didnt know by using the split
view and watching the code being written as I used the WYSIWYG. It is us

When I interview, asking what editor they use is one of the first
questions I ask, and frankly, the same reaction is given if someone says
Dreamweaver. I won't hire them.
Even if they do use the code view, it means my company has to buy
another adobe license for them at $ dollars instead o

Scott, I think your experience stunk. And I say that as a
dyed-in-the-wool hand-coder.
However, neither debating the merits nor determining the ratio of
hand-coding
I'm more of a lurker on this list but I thought I'd mention that there
are some applications that are sort of an in-between (I mean between
hand writing everything and letting the program do it all for you).
Coda, for example, has a nice css editor built in. It lets you get CSS

I use Dreamweaver but in code mode. I don't like using

real simple editor like notepad. I guess you learn

I use dreamweaver, but I don't use the WYSIWYG tools, I really only use
it because I'm confortable with it, syntax highlighting and code

Since I've gotten into CSS and do a lot of back-end programming anyway I
end up doing quite a bit of hand-coding. When you are scripting a

Sure it can provide the format but the end result is hand coding.
