[Locked] Emmet

Thats exactly my point. If you regularly write code long-hand l believe it will give you a better uderstanding of real code structures and real code patterns which is very helpful because you dwell on what you are actually doing, there is more time to understand, whereas using an automated process like emmet is not using real code patterns or structures, plus it just happens, generally you dont care how it happened or why it happened. The very point is doing things again and again will reinforce your code writing skills. Yes it is boring but there is no gain without pain in my opinion. Its probably why lm pretty good at coding to be honest. If l just sat here and pressed buttons, took short cuts l think l would be less capable.

Of course if there is a faster shorter way then most will gravitate towards that solution but it usually comes at a premium. Laziness and the lack of passion for what one does is part and parcel of life these days unfortunately, so really l expect nothing less. It doesnt stop me trying to reverse it though and teaching good fundamental workflows which will benefit in the long run.

https://forums.adobe.com/people/B+i+r+n+o+u as you like metaphor... why use an electric screwdriver to screw screws while any manual screwdriver can just handle it as well ... well we say that the handyman will accommodate well and will be happy, while the professional does will not ask the question ... and in both cases it is they who will choose where to place the screw, which model , and how many of them,but not any prepared tool kit al ready made

Its not the same, in web development you need to have a good understanding of code if your expectations are to have a career in that field, that can only be achieved by repetitively and regularly writing it. There are no short cuts. Sure if you want to use a script to remove blank lines of code quickly why not, you are not learning anything by sitting there and taking each line of blank space out manually, similarly use an electric screwdriver.
