Web Design software v.s Manual scripting

by thando vuzane - web developer . Updated 18 years, 3 months ago

I was viewing the source of numerous websites to see the type of scripting that goes into them, and noticed how many of them were developed using Visual web design software, I can tell from the not well layout indent of the tags and weird characters in the scripting of some of them.

Then I thought of the how much of a pain it would be to edit those pages should you be appointed to take over the site. When basic HTML editing is required, how many Web Developers would have the full understanding of all tags & scripting to be able to edit such pages.

It seems as if most Web Developers are now too dependant on Web Design software which tends to limit their ability to fully understand the basic html scripting that goes into designing a web page. How many web Developers can hand script an entire web project?
