thats like saying you can build a house without power tools... yeah it can by done, but why?

with dreamweaver 8 - if you use the code view it's just the same as hand coding, but dw8 will close tags for you, end commands, etc... which saves a lot of time.

I don't see a downside to using it, even the design view is getting better (although it's still not perfect).
