All-righty then. Please tell us more about how to live our lives.

It looks like fun, so let me try it:
Do you drive a car?
If you are really committed to getting where you are going, you would always
ride a bike or walk instead. Like hand coding, it's better for you, better
for the environment, and better for all around you. To do it any other way
is incorrect.
And if you're done with the car, can I have the keys?

We use the tools we use, to the best of our abilities. Hopefully, we learn
and progress to the point where we can accomplish the job with the simplest
tool available. Some of us (myself included) aren't there yet.

For the record: i use Dreamweaver (gasp), tweak by hand (better), and code
ColdFusion by hand (why? i don't know). Does that make me a bad person?
