Re: Notepad Baby!

Well, when it comes down to it, you'll use whatever you want. The time that I save by not having to hit the tab key when I code is valuable time for me. I use studio.net more then dreamweaver, but the best part about dreamweaver is how fast you can build forms and such. A couple clicks, and I'm saved half an hour trying to remember all the options I need. Dreamweaver code doesn't get ugly till you start adding in php or asp behaviors.

The other reason to use Dreamweaver, at least for me, is using plugins. I have quite a few plugins that do anything from upload a file, resize an image, or create a shopping cart for use with pay pal. All's I'm saying is don't get so burried in thinking you need to do all of your code, and all of it by hand. Take every opertunity to use existing code and programs to make your life easier. It pays off.
