I don't write it by hand, it's useless, it won't viewed on screen. It will just in the paper hahahaha... just kidding I know what you mean. Coding the HTML directly still used, like in notepad. It's still used, but maybe not to effective. Sometimes i coded it on notepad if it just simple HTML
I use Notepad to code HTML, when the things are short, Editings are done by Notepad too . Mainly i use notpads, and sometimes, Web designers. We, I use notepad coz, i dont have to install all those and it comes default in the windows Thanks.
I still do it every now and then but mostly use dreamweaver cuz it will let me know of code tags that are incomplete and also closes my tas which is awesome and saves time!
