Now, I’ll go on the record to say that I’m not completely averse to WYSIWYG website building software, as I think Dreamweaver is certainly making strides in the right direction, not to mention the prowess of certain web-based services such as SquareSpace. But I’d like to make a general statement:
WYSIWYG editors are acceptable for non-technical folk who are not looking for an extremely professional and everlasting site.
