Should I switch from using HTML-Kit to using Adobe GoLive? I am just
a volunteer who is webmaster for a small non-profit group. I am the
only person working on the site. The only reason I am tempted to
switch from HTML-Kit to GoLive is that I can get an academic version
for cheap ($70 USD).
I have been doing simple coding by hand with HTML-Kit because it is
free, to avoid having to go back later to debug bloated tag soup some
editors spit out, and to keep file size small. Is this an outdated
view of things? If I got GoLive 7.0, could I merrily make more
interesting pages without having to code at all?
Thanks!

No. Hand-coding is the best way to code IMO.

I doubt it very much. A software will never be able to actually
compensate real thinking, real planning, real designing. A software will
never be able to actually make level-headed decision, be able to update
itself, read articles, tutorials, read newsgroups, etc..

then wanting to change to golive is a bit odd considering golive spits
out bloated (error filled) tag soup.

a program cant author html properly. a mind is needed to correctly

I have not used GoLive, but I have found that Dreamweaver is very
nice. It basically takes hand coding out of html, and the code that
it generates is generally pretty clean. Also I think that the
academic version is $99 . You can download a 30 trial from
macromedia's site to see if you like it.

I agree. However, although HTML-Kit once used to be a nice editor, it has
become so bloated and confusing that I nowadays use it only as an interface
to Tidy. I find normal text editors, such as Notepad and WordPad, much more
useful for writing HTML.
Follow-ups narrowed.

You do? I find Notepad and Wordpad tedious to use, and I wouldn't
recommend them to anyone. They lack the most basic essentials in my
opinion and I cannot imagine using them unless I had no other available
alternative. Thankfully, there are other alternatives, such as any of
the many cheap or even free editors out there, which are far better
suited for writing HTML. I'd go with something like 1rst Page or
Weaverslave, so you'd have at least a decent line counter and syntax
highlighting.

Judged from the coding GoLive 6.0 does, the answer is no, you could not
make more interesting pages without having to code in GoLive. I find
GoLive is far too WYSIWYG oriented to be of much use as an HTML editor.
It does have some other nice features, though, that you might find
comfortable to use, especially if you have bigger sites to manage. Its
site management features are helpful, and it has a comfortable diagram
editor for planning site layout and site structure. But for the actual
coding I'd use a tool better suited for the task. Though as I said, this
is based on my experience with GoLive 6.0; I haven't tried 7.0 and
didn't even know it's out already.

I agree they lack some editing features which greatly improve the
productivity, but they are pretty useful in many cases (just because
of their simplicity and availability).

"line counter" - do you mean "line numbers"? Is this feature so
important? Notepad has line/column number indicator (not "line
numbers"), "Go To" line # command and it has Unicode support (at
least on NT/2000/XP).

Probably not. GoLive, Front page, or any other WYSIWYG editor, is just
a tool. Other than the fact that the price is $70 what advantage do you
see with Golive?
