My personal view is that it's better to understand the te= chnology on the simplest level (i.e. text config files, hand coding, etc.) = and afterwards move to time-saving tools like generators, GUI's IDE's, etc.=

So my recommendation is to get to grips with config on th= e command line first, then decide for yourself whether you want to use webm= in or not.

Hope this helps,
