Do you ever code HTML by hand anymore? Or do you just use a WYSIWYG editor? I remember the days where the only way was notepad!
I write a lot of code by hand, most of for dynamic pages. For normal pages I use WYSIWYG editors ...

Because I am a fan of working smarter not harder I try to use a good editor. I don't use full blown WYSIWYG editors because I don't like all the extra code they add but I do like HTML Toolkit.

Yes, I've never used a program to do it for me.
I use vim/vi. Of course my .vimrc is tricked out with plenty of helper macros and such. I just like having total control of what's going on. I've used WYSIWYG editors in the past, but it always seems as though I found myself battling against the cruft that they put into your code.
I agree with most of the comments, why would you do something that is harder when there is an easier alternative.
It's better to make the core of your site with a WYSIWYG editor and then optimize it manually.

The only problem with that is most times when you change the code the editor creates the code not longer works within the editor.

I use Notepad. I don't need any of these fancy editors.
All my code is done straight by hand.
I always code by hand! WYSIWYG's are dirty!
I find that using WYSISYG editors is problematic in the sense that you almost always need to optimize it afterwards. It doesn't add alot to your efficiency since I find that I can code it by hand much faster. I do use Visual Studio and it's intellisense feature is definately a huge time saver, but that's about it. I don't even bother with it's drag and drop controls or wizards much.
