Technical excellence via hand work

A Slashdot post points to an online discussion with Khoi Vinh, design guru at NYTimes.com, in which Vinh is asked how the team there maintains visual consistency. His answer, in part:

"It's our preference to use a text editor, like HomeSite, TextPad or
TextMate, to 'hand code' everything, rather than to use a WYSIWYG (what
you see is what you get) HTML and CSS authoring program, like
Dreamweaver. We just find it yields better and faster results."

Like I keep saying, people ... like I keep saying.
