Why Do You Hate Internet Explorer:: It likes to do its own thing with each version and makes life hell.

It sure beats design, repro and print as a better way of life - well, it might if the damn things didn't keep wanting to die.

So, I'll clarify here. I started doing websites "visually" using Dreamweaver (version3). I moved, at some later stage to Ultradev. I hate "coding" as I like to see what I am doing - I used to be a designer for print - that explains that then.

I have recently dropped Dreamweaver - and despite my complete utter hatred of Microsoft, I am now using Expression Web.

I now hand code the CSS and find the program works great. Of course, for those that say it does NOT integrate directly with Photoshop etc etc - I say wow, you fell for the marketing hype then. Buy one product from Adobe - you got to buy them all.

As for twiddling with other types of code - I often wonder why folk who use dreamweaver want to use a "visual" product to code PHP ASP etc etc.

There, that answers that question then.
