It sounds like you know what you're doing.

WTF | :WTF: Were you able to keep from laughing when he told you this? What market is he referring to? The local flea market? That's like saying "Notepad" is the industry standard IDE for software development.

I've never encountered a web design editor that improved the quality of my work or allowed me to develop more quickly. I remember using Dreamweaver back when Macromedia owned it. It was such a hassle to do the simplest of things and all it did was get in the way. Then we had NetObjects Cold Fusion. That was just as useless. However, I could say that if a person wants to throw together a cookie-cutter website, and they have no experience whatsoever in this field, then it's probably a great tool.

The thing to remember is that the tool is only as good as the person who uses it. Imagine what Pablo Picasso could do with a box of crayons. Compare that to someone without artistic talent using the most advanced digital art application out there. I'm talking about "Corel Painter". With great accuracy, it simulates the appearance and behavior of traditional media, such as oil painting, pastels, graphite, airbrush, pen and ink, and the list goes on.

Could Pablo Picasso do more with crayons than someone who lacks artistic talent and uses the most advanced tools out there? My money is on Picasso and his crayons every time.

This unfortunate "webmaster" is out of touch with reality. Does he share his other beliefs with you? If so, do those beliefs defy reality? He may have a serious condition. Such a condition could cause him harm.

In the most severe cases, people who undergo this type of psychotic break from reality exhibit delusions of grandeur. An afflicted person might believe they can fly and jump off the roof of a building.

It may start off with using WIX, but that could lead to using things such as Microsoft Edge. Once a person starts using something like that, it's only a matter of time until they start using crack, and Python.

Friends don't let friends use WIX. Laugh | :laugh:
