Well you're just a programmer wannabe fuckwit. So tell me exactly what 
kind of control you have over the "code"? So what if there is 57 varieties 
of HTML out there? Being such a specific number you probably know them 
all right? It's not particularly hard to make pages compatible with the 
two major browsers which most people are concerned with since these two 
are at the cutting edge of html implementation not to mention user-base 
dominance. But if you find it particularly challenging to make it compatible 
with every browser on every platform good for you, you loser. Most of us 
have better things to do with our time.

HTML is no big deal, it's just a basic multimedia delivery and convergence 
language and not much else. If you've got no life and or deluded by some 
notion of hardcore elitist html coding fairy land by all means do with 
notepad. The rest of use save time by using WYSIWYG editors that offer 
straight forward control over pag layout. I use WebExpress for the bulk 
of it all and Allaire Homesite for deeper html coding when it's necessary.
