Hand-coding HTML is still hip says NY Times Design Director

It warmed my heart to see Khoi Vinh, Design Director for the NY Times state that they still write HTML code by hand.

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.
