Whether it's choosing percentages over pixels
in a given instance,
or wanting to adjust a selection of code to your own tastes, WYSIWYGs
typically do not give you that option. sure, you can go in and
change the information and save the file, but open it again and
your code will have been altered by the application!
You've already been introduced to the concept of "Fat Code," and WYSIWYGs are equally a culprit in this problem. while you have more control over customizing WYSIWYGs to suit your tastes, the application does the coding, not you. this means that ultimately, the code is going to reflect the style of the application, and not the coder. |
