"Now, I didn’t necessarily see the winning groups site, but you don’t have to – it was made in Dreamweaver!"

I want to believe that the arrogant tone in combination with this line are some sort of punch line or social experiment that I'm just not getting. Please?

It's some teenager that will regret this article later in life. Let's not give him even more attention. It's just getting more painful for him this way.

Thanks...I think.

I used Dreamweaver for my web design class in high school. While back then it was slow and clunky, it worked well enough and already had somewhat working WYSIWYG editor. I used it to generate basic design and then would edit HTML file by hand to achieve desired result (such as rollover images).

I have fond memories of Dreamweaver, but I have not used it since. Bottom point it is idea and content that makes a website, not tools you use to get there.

Since the guy didn't even include any snapshots of his design, he can't be too proud of it.

I'm with you, I finished wondering if I was being trolled.

Add me to the list.

I kept waiting to see a punchline or a gotcha, but it just kept getting worse. Like one of the "nice guys" who wonders why the girl picks the "jerk".

Agree, the ego and hipstership of that comment was way off limits, to be serious. I would like to think that he is just trolling with us to keep it more ralistic.
