Sorry but those that are developing complex database driven sites using Notepad are wasting valuable time.

Granted it does force you to use semantic, well structured code without junk but in terms of speed you are well behind.

Look at the tag complete feature of DW for example. If I want to write a query I only need to type <cfq and down arrow to get <cfquery> Less key presses = more speed.

Note that I am not advocating DW plug ins as they are generally crap nor not knowing how to code by hand but I would put good money on being able to produce a DB driven site faster using DW than notepad.

Of course there is the geek factor in being able to say "I can replicate Amazon with nothing more than Notepad" involved
