I think it really helps to know the basics of coding because WYSIWYG editors can sometimes produce strange unwanted results that are easily corrected by slightly modifying the underlying code. I started with WYSIWYG graphic terminals in 1980 (Varityper 4800) and have been a great fan ever since. When I first started with FrontPage, I was always curious what the code looked like on the backside, and would play around for effect - mostly with undesired results. LOL. The more you see the code in different applications, the easier it is to understand the how and why this stuff works.
