But you didn't :P

I know, I am a l33t purist with a tenuous relationship to reality.  I
have the same arguments with most people who work with HTML day in and
day out.  I do grant you that a lot of the tools, such as Dreamweaver,
give you a lot of assistance in managing sites.  But then I find myself
explaining to people why their new page doesn't work in my browser, or
on a screen-reader, or on a mobile phone...  The tools work best if you
know how the system works, and you are not fooled into believing in a
WYSIWYG Web.

Thank you for putting up with my idealism :)
