You never go full WYSIWYG.

It's like driving an automatic versus a stick when you're a pro racer. You're driving, but you aren't exactly in full control. When a problem arises where you need to get behind the wheel in a stick and you aren't prepared, you're going to be wishing that you learned it beforehand.

There's nothing exactly wrong with rocking a WYSIWYG; it's just that you come off as a complete amateur for using it. Why? Because my grandfather uses a WYSIWYG editor. He's not a web developer, and doesn't exactly know what he's doing when he's editing websites. You're a web developer, and you should know what you're doing. Forget being lazy, if you want this to be your thing then you need to eat, sleep, and binge-drink web design. And yes, that means coding, not dragging and dropping.
