Yes and no. I've attended a course on VS2005, and it does produce
better code and also allows for templating like dreamweaver does
rather than creating lots of small includes. However, the developer
once again has too many options to mess things up. VS.NET is a typical
IDE that assumes the developer knows everything while normally that is
never the case.
