> i mean how many real developers use WYSIWYG editors?

Please define a "Real" developer. We have several "real" developers
doing contract work where I am at who are some of the best developers in
North Texas. These guys are by far "Real" developers, and I have seen
them use the WYSIWYG editing features of MX. The reason that they do
this is because they know how to use the tools at their disposal to
maximize development. If a "Real" developer knows that creating a large
table structure or doing some complex layering is by using a WYSIWYG
feature of an application, then they do it. And since these guys do not
come cheap, we appreciate the fact that they want to make the most of
the applications they use to speed development, and in return we keep
them on to do more work. I would never think these guys were any less
developer than they are just because they are using a WYSIWYG editing
tool. 

Bye the way, if I am reading the context of your term "Real" developer
correctly, then you too must not be a "Real" developer as you seem to be
unwilling to just type in the image tag and its associated properties.
You want to drag it over to your page. I remember way back in '95 when I
taught my self HTML there were no tools available that would allow me to
drag an image into my page (maybe because that feature is not built into
Notepad). I had to manually type in the tag and its properties.

Maybe we are taking too much for granted and we need to get back to our
development roots.

Oh, and this is not a flame, just an observation.

IMHO that is.

You cannot drag an image in code view, you have to be in design view to
drag images in.

I hate this as well, but you get used to it.

HTH,
