100% by hand

%100 BBEdit - %100 hand code -
I am not a purist per say- I just never bothered to learn all the Dreamweaver tricks. It would take me longer to figure out what I wnat to do in Dreamweaver than to just write it out. I like knowing things are working (or not working) because I wrote it that way.Most that I know that use Dreamweaver exclusively have no idea what the code means

hmm. Some of you I believe, some I don't.
I just don't see it being time efficient... For example - I've just converted a Quark Annual Report using mostly DW and the editor. It's taken 3 days. I dread to think about hand-coding it...

I know the code - but man. Typing it takes an aeon.

90% DW 10% by hand. There just isn't enoiugh time in the day to handcode everything.
I hand code all of my flash though ;)

I usually do the layout type stuff with DW's tools, unless they wont do what i need and require had code.
most of my actual Coldfusion Coding is done by had but in DW's code view

100% hand code, but i use dreamweaver's code view or SubEthaEdit or BBEdit...it depends on what I am doing...

yes.
when you hand code, you will have a better where possible errors are located, and where it can be tweaked and improved....

Then you know some stupid DW users. That's all I can say, they are stupid.
Everyone should start out hand-coding when they are learning and never completely be dependent on a program. But Dreamweaver has some incredible time advantages...Image maps for instance. Divs. The fact that you can convert layers to tables with pixel perfect accuracy. These things are layout dreams and would take muuuuuuuch longer to hand code.
As long as your education was hand-coding and you are very familar with it, there's not an issue with "knowing how everything works" because it's shit simple by the point you're ready to sell your services.

Dreamweaver let me teach myself how to hand code, selecting something in the design view and switching to code view to see the high lighted code, helps loads. I am competant enough to hand code when I need to now, but I usually only have time when Dreamweaver decides it's gonna be silly and not do what it's told.

100% HomeSite/Topstyle
What do you guys do in Dreamweaver that makes it so much faster? Since the days of bad WYSIWYG experiences I have been wary, even though I do have a copy of DWMX, but I can hand code pretty fast, and I need full control of the code for accessibility reasons.

hand coding tabular data is silly.

I dream the code and then i use an optical imaging device that transmits the code from my brain into notepad.

DragKng, Image maps or positioning divs is excruciating with just text. In Dreamweaver it's click and drool.

i hand code everything in skEdit. it speeds things up having a file manager and syntax helper when necessary. Using notepad is just silly.
I then handcode my css.
I used to do the same thing in DW code view.
