wysiwyg tools are very helpful; however, they don't tend to help me
understand the underlying structures, so they don't help me learn. I
need to feel like I understand all the nitty-gritty of something, to be
perfectly in control of my tools.
What I need is to understand
1) how to write raw CSS
2) how to modify my raw-html to describe content and not form.
I don't think a wysiwyg tool would help *me* come to that understanding.
