[Pugged] High-level/visual tools

[Travis Carden]

All visual HTML tools (with the possible exception of the new
Dreamweaver MX) are the demon-spawn of Satan.  Of all of them,
Dreamweaver is the least demonic, but even it is horrible about
rewriting your code and using bad syntax.  (It also has awful
color-coding.)  The newest MX release, however, is supposed to base the
code editing on HomeSite (which rocks).  I've downloaded the trial
version of it, though, and it DOES still rewrite some code, and loses
all of HomeSite's really helpful keyboard shortcuts.  I couldn't
tolerate it, so I went back to hand-coding.

Check this out: http://www.webstandards.org/act/campaign/dwtf/.  There's
a whole freakin' taskforce at the Web Standards Project aimed at
persuading Macromedia to make a Dreamweaver that doesn't suck.

Does anyone use point-n-click visual tools to do their web apps? What
are you using and how do you use it? I still use vim to do all my
coding, including the HTML parts.
