I so agree.  Templates are the key!  Once a design is finalized it is
imperative that the code be optimized and structured for reuse.  Tools
like Dreamweaver are getting better at HTML, but are by no means as
good as hand code.  I have not forgotten, however, that there was a time
when I thought assembler was the only way to write fast executing code.
GCC and other optimizing C compilers have come a LONG way since then and
I rarely have guilt over spitting out a quick C routine!
