Do you prefer hand coding your site or using an editor such as frontpage or dreamweaver?

I hand code much more often, because the code is much better and there is less junk in it. Its also quicker (i have a few templates i modify every time).

Sometimes i can have trouble visualising or just don't feel like coding, which is why i have frontpage installed anyway.

Its easier to use an editor, but the results can be more 'unique' if you hand code the website.

I like to get existing templates and just modify the code. So basically, i prefer hand coding because the results are better and you have more control than you would if you were using an editor.

Hand coding is better if you are in it for the long run - i.e. you plan to make multiple websites. if you are just making a one of website than i suppose its ok to use a wysiwyg editor

Definitely hand coding. It is so much easier to actually see what you are doing and inputting. However WYSIWYG can be good if your in a rush.
