there is nothing wrong with using and editor, as long as you actually know how to hand code, and you know proper xhtml and design techniques.
the problem is when you get kiddies with DW who don't know the first thing about proper markup and call themselves a 'designer'.
carpenters know how to use a hammer, even though a nail gun is quicker.
as far as DW. when it begins outputting clean, compliant code then i will use it more.
until then, hand-coding is much more efficient.
and, for the record, again, tables aren't for layout.
this proves my point exactly. people rely on software more than on actually knowing what they're doing.
and, if your client has a choice between reaching a larger market for their site, i would think revenue and usage would outweigh and extra 20 or so hours to make sure the product you are producing is correct.
and who actually creates 100's of pages for a site individually? that is what backend programming is for.
learn php, perl or python.
