I see your point twobuck, and I'm not disagreeing at all. I can see what your saying and that your production amount could definately increase, but at the expense of some insignificant stuff no one may ever notice anyway. It makes sense I guess. In almost every business, the need to speed up production many times takes it's toll on quality in some way. That you can edit the html and understand it must be a saving grace for you. I can't imagine NOT being able to read/understand the code and try to design with a WYSWYG editor. I make no claims to being a graphics oriented designer. Like I said, I'm more into making php, perl, and other stuff interact on the web. Graphics is usually my shortcoming, as I'm not blessed with an overly artistic hand !

The more I think about it, the more I think that a mix of the two worlds is needed by the average webdesigner. Knowledge of html and ability to code along with the ability to run Dreamweaver or other WYSWYG editor -- for speedier design. I will probably code by hand for quite awhile, as it is the most fun for me, and my biz is actually more of a hobby, so I'm not under the time constraints some of you might be. When time and production is an issue, I can definately see where a WYSWYG editor would be a requirement in some instances.

Edited for spelling :)
