I just have to add one thing here... I use DWMX, Studio 5, and Note Tab Pro all together. I use DW when I need to do something real quick and don't have time to bother with things. I use Studio when I need to use the Help section when I can't remember the syntax of a function or something, and I use Note Tab for everything else because its fast, stable, and has a kick butt clip system that I have used to create wizards to create code that I hate repeating.
DWMX has and does things that annoy me to no end but I still use it when its the best tool for what I am doing. I think that any developer should look at the tools at their disposal and use them wisely(not to say that we don't already), but this whole DWMX thing, to me, is silly. MM changed things and you either use what they built or stick to what works for you most of the time. I tell you one thing though, the Live Data View in DWMX has come in handy several times in helping with layout issues when real data gets put into my pages. I use the WYSIWYG part of DWMX about 5% of the time, but that 5% makes a big difference in what I am doing right now. Off of my soapbox now, but I have kept my mouth shut since all this started and I just had to let it go.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Weeg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 8:08 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: dwmx and image dragging. IMVHO: very bad planning on MM's part. i mean how many real developers use WYSIWYG editors? we never have before, why should we now? i cant understand how they would imagine developers would want to lose that feature :( poor choice, very poor choice. wait i here 2 cents hitting a bucket, thats probably already full. tony -----Original Message----- From: Clint Tredway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 9:55 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: dwmx and image dragging. 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.
