 just the other day eric meyer announced that he has been working with webassist to create eric meyers css sculptor its a dreamweaver extension that assists users in creating clean markup and css while this seems like a vast improvement over previous wysiwyg s it still feels like one why do i feel this way while its great that this would mean that there is less crap code out there people are still basically using forms to generate the markup and css needed they still are not learning anything about web development one thing i saw in the plans for future releases was there are some things i expect will be improved in future releases like shorthand value minimization the simplest example of that being a condensation of 0 0 0 0 down to just plain 0 wow if thats not going to confuse the hell out of people who dont know css i dont know what will imagine trying to add a margin in so you add margin 10px 0 10px 0 then it gets condensed to margin 10px 0 it kind of seems like you would be confused as to why it wouldnt accept the values that you were adding unless they give some sort of alert telling the user that this is what is happening they will definitely be confused they wont know the different between margin and padding they still may use blockquotes to indent their text it just seems like crap users are still going to be choosing from a template do we really want the web to be built on templates what are the ramifications as i was thinking about this writing this i was reading a post at entitled will software ever make us redundant i think this post really got me thinking about how even though the wysiwygs are getting better i dont ever think that humans will become redundant in web design development the human mind is just too creative and amazing for a piece of software to ever be able to accomplish the same thing think about all of those wacky ie6 bugs i dont know mr meyer with all due respect it kinda feels like you sold out on us
