Hand coder here. Used to work with a free institutional copy of WsFTP, Notepad and CorelXara in the mid-90's. Then moved to CorelDraw8 and eventually 10. (Yes, I know it's not FLOSS but Corel did release a FLOSS solution!)<BR>
<BR>
Today I code on gedit and xfer files with gFTP and bareFTP and do use GIMP and Inkscape but still cling to my beloved Corel (work much faster there...too many years experience). Corel Corporation did have a foray into *NIX with their own distro about 10-years ago. CorelLinux was Debian based and included a FLOSS version of Photopaint 8. It wasn't the most up-to-date version of the software but it was good stuff and something I wish I still had my copy of! (Too bad they ditched the distro...) I had troubles trying to run it on my hardware and was way too young in my IT life to grasp it on my own. <BR>
<BR>
I used to teach HTML 4.0 at New Horizons of Washington, DC as well as Dreamweaver and Frontpage. Hate the WYSIWYG editors as they just aren't worth the effort (IMNSHO) and as such are something that I have avoided completely. I have managed web teams that developed portal level sites and used WYSIWYG tools, but in the end we always worked in raw code. <BR>
<BR>
Mark-up languages are too easy to learn to try avoid; so please forgive me if I'm chiming in on a wrong note, but I would just learn them, hand-code and learn the fundamentals of doing graphics. I have taught several webmasters the tools of the trade and if I can do it; anyone can...<BR>
<BR>
PS> The only thing I use MS product for in my personal life is this: Silverlight on Firefox for Netflix, Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CorelDraw 10 and all of that on a XP VM running on 11.04. <BR>
