hmmm..
this is something i wonder about myself.
i like doing both to a degree, although i am mainly a designer.
to be good at either you need knowledge of the other.
the designer should understand the limitations and posibilites of the code.
and the coder should understand the design.
before the web, i studied printing.
you couldn't design a print item unless you understand bleeding, margins,
the press, ect..
it is the same with the web.
my 2 cents :)

With all of this talk about using wysiwyg's and coding by hand.. I
propose the question I've been struggling with... Can someone be very
good at both? Designers I think will tend to drift towards dreamweaver..
it's faster, its easier, and they can see the designs.. pretty.. *poof*
there it is. Coders are interested in back-end... how it loads, how it's
handled on different systems/browsers/etc, getting the most done in
least amount of lines of correct code...
If we seperate content and design, are we also seperating the jobs?
*shrug*
just pondering,
