All of this "you're not a hand coder because you're doing it in DW" is making me ill. I'm a traditional artist and what I'm hearing is that I'm not an artist because I use the computer for my art now? Whether it's Illy or PS, I'm still an artist. The computer is just an extension of my paint pallette. I hate it when people say, "The computer did it for you." That's just not true.
So, if you know how to hand code, you are a hand coder. I'm not a big DW fan, but if you're able to take what you've done in DW out of it and tweek it, you are in fact a hand coder. If you can't take it out of DW and tweek it, then hands down you're not a hand coder. It's not that difficult to understand.
BTW....I'm a hand coder. I don't use software for websites because I really don't have time to learn another piece of software. I've been hand coding since 1995 and while I'm not a programmer, I know enough to be dangerous. : )
