Jon,

I personally don't agree that a WYSIWYG editor is a necessity for web 
development. Not at all. In fact, I think it is a crutch for many 
developers because they never learn a solid foundation and good HTML.

Designing complex table layouts is easy if you've been practicing and know 
HTML like the back of your hand. I've never met a table that I could not 
make my bitch.  I hand code almost everything, and consequently have a very 
intimidate (no jokes please) relationship with the resulting code.
