That's a bit like saying you won't use a wordprocessing package to type
a letter, when notepad will do the same job.

When you have learned how to craft a Web site, then you need tools to do
it faster and easier than hand coding everypage.

This is where Scripting languages like Coldfusion and PHP come into
their own.
