Home: 100% hand code in BBEdit
Work: DWMX mostly code view
- tfsmag0
i hand code asp and php, but for html... hell fucking no, i'd never get anything done. use dreamweaver, and if i need to go in and tweak something i do it in the code view.

i think alot of the people on here are bullshitting, unless their only clients are little mom and pop shops that need an 8 page website and a paypal link.

I hand code my CSS all the time, it's way easier, and Dreamweaver does a bad job of it mostly anyway.

right tfsmag, Id like to see the workload these guys are working with.

I use allaire homesite purely for its colour coding of HTML and PHP... dreamweaver used to always wrap font tags around everythnig everytime you changeed anything... dunno if it still does it... but if you're a decent programmer/designer/coder you don't need to spend too much time HTMLing anyway... as you're just building the framework.

I do all css in notepad, for some geeky reason I really enjoy tweaking it.

Tweaking CSS is fun (as fun as tweaking code can get that is) maybe because you can abbreviate it etc. also, it's good to see how paired down you can make it. and getting it to work properly too...

i do css in code view :\
the dw wizard for css leaves alot to be desired.
dw also fucks up asp and php code so i hand code all of that.
but i'll be damned if i'm gonna type out
a href="blahblah" target="_blank"
and other simple redundant code all of the damn time.

code view give's you code hints and offer's classes and id's from your CSS files in DMX2004...that is indespensible sometimes...
tabular data, i lied, i do it in layout view, or i create a script to run through a database and output all of the work...
the reason i hand code most of it is cause of the code hints, you type d, and the first tag that comes up is div i think...
i do alot of flash for my backends though, because dragging and dropping WebServices and such, cannot go without that...
and yes i said flash backend...

100% by hand, but then I write all dynamic code.
When doing a basic site, I use URL Rewrites or vars, and then pull content in dynamically

100% Crimson Editor/TextPad
Fuck notepad... I like syntax highlighting.
To save time, I usually develop a quick templating system. If no serverside crap is available, I use lots of Javascript to wrtie content on the fly.

i usually do everything in bbedit, but i never work on anything huge. i kinda enjoy it actually.

I thought it was customary for pros in busy environments to write their code by hand. I would say those working on little mom and pop websites are the ones using wysiwyg to lay a page out. If you write clean html with css handling the layout hand coding is very efficient.

i use DWMX mostly in code view for coding, layout for setting up the layout of the page.
As far as having DW re-write code there are settings and prefences that you can set to disallow code rewriting and so on. Also DWMX is really customizable which is something that i've used a lot.

whitesneaks: i do all my 'code' by hand (asp/php/javascript) however, it is not customary to waste time writing html by hand, at least in any of the places i've ever worked. but do whatever gets you paid. i just don't see how anyone can do EVERYTHING in a text editor and expect to get any large projects done in a sufficient amount of time.
