So what you're saying is that you don't know how to code any more than the
average third grader, so you need a WYSIWYG to do it for you? There is NOTHING
that any WYSIWYG can do that can't be done better in a text editor. I've written full
Windows programs that get about as complex as you can get, like hacking a foreign
objects vtable, and doing custom encryption onboard the video card, all in a text editor.
hell, you want the ultimate example? Linux. The friggin OS that serves up your PHP
script kiddie stuff is written using guess what - a text editor.

You know why real developers who actually read the books and take the classes use text editors?
Because they know enough that they can write quality code and need the control over the code
that only a text editor can give you. You love Dreamweaver because it makes pretty things
dance around, great. That's awesome. Your beloved Dreamweaver was itself written using a
text editor.
