I do not subscribe to this PoV because it is a flawed logic in the RAD
arena. The Q solicits an editor which would help in designing pages quickly
without getting into the nuances of it(though, one can always edit the
generated HTML/CSS). The present editors(like DW) are good and are
'intelligent'(to a certain extent) and does not essentially ask the person
to know the minutaes of HTML.
I would prefer creating a bulleted list by using clicking on a button then
manually using the tags(you may be different in this case, but to my limited
knowledge there aint many who would do this!).
After all , how many developers know loop-unrolling and compiler
optimisations and ASM snippets when they are programming 'applications' in
C/Java.
Do note(again) that my observation is purely targetted at RAD developers and
not those who develop mission-critical or high performance programs - in the
latter, each and every line of te the program matters, and genreally these
are 'hand-coded'.
Also, i would be interested in knowing as to how this is the "GNU/Linux
Way".
PS: "The GNU/Linux Way" sounds like a good book title - anyone considering
this?? ;)
