Do you like WYSIWYG programs?

WYSIWYG stands for "What you see is what you get"

Programs that are WYSIWYG programs include Frontpage, Visual Basic, Dreamweaver, Word, Publisher, and other programs.

I like using WYSIWYG programs for doing complicated stuff since coding a webpage from scratch with Notepad takes a long time since I need to look up codes and I am a slow typer.

Meh, i use them this is true

though i use the view code option to clean the code up and make it standards compliant,

MS Expression is a wysiwyg editor but has a decent code view function

I think coding the Button and image location on the GUI can be kind of a pain for a novice since a program can have over 10 or more buttons, pictures, form objects and visual and text objects, and they all have to be in different locations so they don't overlap unless their rollover objects when a certain event like mouse click happens.

coding buttons is a pain in the a*se anyway even for people who have been coding a while,

though i use the wysiwyg get undocumented features to generate the buttons and just swap out the images,

i also use there fourm system then modify it to what i need

Yes because I haven't a clue about how to code.

Coding the Object's Sizes and Atributes like bold, indent, etc can be a huge pain for me if I had to do it.
