Yo! But I learned HTML back when the only WYSIWYG editors available were things like Front Page and Netscape 4.7, which generated really horrible code and had a ton of usability issues. But if I'd had access to a good multi-mode editor I probably would have used it. As technicoid says, going back and forth between the two modes is a good way to learn the language.

I write SQL that way, 'cause I don't code in it enough to memorize the syntax. I use the QBE interface when I need to do something complicated, but a lot of changes are too subtle to be done easily except in the raw code.

Does anyone else still code HTML directly, editing the source with
emacs (like me) or vi (not like me) or some other good all-around
text editor?

I use an inexpensive HTML editor called CoffeeCup
(http://www.coffeecup.com/). It costs $49.00, ships with various script
examples and multiple preview options, and in general produces clean
HTML. I prefer working in an editor that shows me the code. It's a
relatively painless way to learn HTML.
