>> Let's be honest, how many of you create static HTML sites?
Not I. I code in php/mysql exclusively.

No way. I won't touch one and I run several high traffic sites (top
20,000 Alexa ranks) Edit Plus and photoshop are the only things I use to
write all of my websites. Frontpage sucks. Dreamweaver, I find annoyng
to use, having to re-code what it codes in the first place, and simply
takes me longer than just typing it out. Edit plus has built in ftp for
on-the-fly saves to the web, syntax highlighting, support for asp to php
to c++ to jsp.
>> There aren't many tools out there (outside of the blogging-tools)
that create valid HTML-code.
YOU create the code, not the machine. Even if you use a "what you see
is what you hope to get" tool, you should still edit it before going
live with the site to make it good code.
Again, it's twice the time.

place we all dream of ;-)
I have no idea what WaSP is. *shrug*
