I like perl, what's that tell you? :-) Most of the time I do use a programmers editor but for large amounts of code generation and layout (Like starting a brand new site or playing with layout ideas) you can't beat it! As far as bad code, the only code thats bad code is one that doesn't validate@W3C. did you read my whole post?, guess I should have started with the programmers editor and ended with the wysiwyg.
