Well with the Cyber Monday 25% off offer I decided to get the VSD and see what is was all about. I have always done my on coding and felt like I had the control of my page. Although I had not done any web site work for well over 6 years I decided to get back and bought the HTML Editor and it did take a little time to refresh myself with all the coding it came back to me.
I really am not sure I can give up the HTML Editor, but I have a different intended use for VSD. So I will now see if that use will work out.
