Re: hand code vs. WYSIWYG

["James Perkins" <jrperkinsjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rick,
Thanks for your input on this. I have used VE before and have had similar
problems, but they don't seem to bad. I will have to try it more with
Eclipse rather than WDSC to try the copy and past function.

I usually don't like generated code, but I do like how VE does it. I just
always wonder what people are doing. Do most people hand code or use some
sort of visual editor for UI.

So, thanks for the input.
