    I agree.. With using editors to boost productivity any day. I do what's in the client's best interest.

    "Mr. Client, we would prefer programming your entire 100 page website manually so that it adds 40 hours or so to your bill so that we can feel more justified that we "hand" coded your website. Is that okay?"

    I don't think so. I don't believe that hand coding creates a "better" product, in fact, it's my opinion that is plain and simply is a waste of time when you can generate the same results with an editor and save time. I understand the necessity of touching up things here and there by using a plain text editor but to generate large amounts of redundent code by typing it over and over again is silly to me.

    I'm sure someone will disagree with my opinion, but that's why it's MY opinion. I'll defend it until someone can change it.
