Not many people design things with HTML and CSS. There is a bit of a movement with some agencies to design in the browser that way, but most designers don't do this as it produces poor results creatively.
The client would normally look at and revise photoshop designs not built pages.
For example, imagine a normal 2 column layout, a sidebar with the navigation, a bunch of CTA's and maybe an advert. To the right a content area.
Now lets say on some pages the content area fills the whole page and the sidebar is removed. Are you suggesting it would make more sense to just hide that with a class on the div leaving it in the DOM? Or would it make more sense to simply check if the sidebar is needed based on what the controller for that page says, and not include that sidebar partial in the view?
While your example is possible it's not desirable in some cases, and in other cases that's exactly what I'd do. It totally depends on what is being removed from the page.
Don't paint a new picture, that's just reinventing the wheel, much better artists have already painted mostly everything. Just get some Monet for the background, a bit of Michelangelo for the foreground and a bit of Picasso for the human subjects.
In web design reinventing the wheel would be building your own browser not bespoke design work. Sure use Joomla if you want a CMS but don't just go down the premade theme route if you're selling your services as a web designer.
Suggesting use a CMS doesn't answer the question. Templates still need to be built and integrated with it. What backend software you use to manage a site is irrelevant to whether or not you code by hand or wysiwyg.
Also, it's more like have a drag & drop interface to develop C++.
You're knowledge of website design and development is at least 10 years out of date. You should restrain yourself from weighing in on subjects that you have an amateur grasp of.
I'm a designer, I don't know any other designer who uses WYSIWYG editors. What sort of "designers" do you know or are you just guessing at our opinions?
What are you on about? Neil deGrasse Tyson has been in the public eye and a popular communicator of science long before "The Big Bang Theory" even existed. Wouldn't have been much of a cameo if no one knew who he was until that episode.
Slashdot Mirror
Rushed to get first? Nope.
Rushed to ask why the hell this was posted on slashdot as if it's news to us? Yes.
Article is a forum post from 2008 talking about things we knew before then.
Why was this posted?
can we please stop relying on third parties for things *you* should be providing to your users.
Your shocked sarcasm loses me... what point are you trying to make?
I didn't even bother reading the fucking summary, but I still think of the scene as a type of library.
It's called "The Scene"
Just make topsites the equivalent of libraries under law and you've already got a head start.
Sublime is kinda taking textmates place.

Since when did using an IDE not constitute handcoding? Or when did "handcoding" come to mean not using a CMS?
A lot for the comments here seem to be thinking handcoding a site means building everything from scratch, when that is not at all what it means.

Yep. Designer first, frontend developer second.

awful advice.
Maybe because websites are not built using tables anymore?

Turn it off by the socket. No more crazy paranoia!
loading the page over and over again? no it's not.

because screams need translating?
erm, no it's not it was intended for commercial entities world wide. You have .us to use.
Huh? As far as I'm aware a he didn't receive the files while on american soil. That was his argument, that american laws are not worldwide.
Does this also stop the effects of other opiates?
