It seems many of you have fallen into the marketing trap which states:
"Hey, you don't LEARN HTML, just buy our software".
So you buy their software, and you end up having to learn MORE than
you would have if you just learned HTML in the first place.
You're also stuck without much freedom in their software, bugs and all.
It seems in the computer world that these companies WANT people to stay
ignorant of the technology, becasue then they can convince you to buy
ANYTHING!
