I'm far from being any sort of 'wannabe', having been a professional
programmer for years.  What kind of control do I have over the code?  That
question shows that you are not a professional programmer.  WYSIWYG editors
have a number of problems with the code they produce, not least of which is
that they tend to use the latest and greatest constructs even where they are
not supported by many browsers and often not by W3C.  You prove your
ignorance of the market by insisting that there are "two major browsers
which most people are concerned with", implying NN4 and IE4, ignoring the
substantial market that is still on IE3, NN3, and so forth.  Controlling my
code so that I target my audience is the mark of a winner.  It doesn't take
all that much time either.  If the graphics are done I can produce a working
site in a few hours and it will be seen by more people than anything
generated by plonks such as yourself.

I repeat: you are a moron.
