I guess I’m not totally sold that this WYSIWYG implementation is going to be leaps and bounds above others. But it’s a step, so I guess I can’t ask for more than that.

But I feel that you are dismissing what is ultimately a tool to improve the code being published by DW - and that's got to be good. Though I agree that as a webdesigner/developer you need to understand the code - not everyone will handcode - or ever be interested in that. So improving the WYSIWYG apps and generating better code must be better than trying to force people into learning something they don't feel they need to (no matter how wrong they might be). Eric Meyer contributing can only mean that this time around the implementation of this particular extension has been thought through and implemented correctly - nice clean code for everyone :) And who knows - knowing that this code is correct might even get a few more people to venture further and curious about understanding the principles ;) well, I personally don’t use DW so I have not had a chance to test the CSS Sculptor myself and can’t really judge.

Also, this product seems counter productive to the sale of <a href="http://amazon.com/s/ref=sr_kk_3/104-5733117-6139139?ie=UTF8&search-alias=stripbooks&field-keywords=eric%20meyer%20css" rel="nofollow">his books</a>. If you have one do you really need the other? I agree with you. Also, this product seems counter productive to the sale of his books. If you have one do you really need the other?
