Hand coding and Dreamweaver dont need to be thought of as separate, I hand code, sometimes in a fancy text editor, sometimes in Dreamweaver MX 2004's Code/Split View depending on the type of work.
Previously I wouldnt have bothered with Dreamweaver but as of this latest version it can be set to generate pure XHTML so im happy with it

Im a new boy to the discussion group. Pointed in this direction by Jeffery Zeldman's 'Designing with Web Standards'. I must say Web Standards has been a 'breathe of fresh air' for me. Its the way forward, for sure. What Im not so sure about is using a code generator eg. Dreamweaver. Ive always hand coded my HTML, javascript, ASP, SQL etc using a text editor (past 4 years). What do people think about hand coding versus code generators? What percentage of developers totally hand code, use both, use only code generators? regards Simon*****************************************************
