Hey, that's just how I see it. Looking at your signature, maybe there's a better analogy, tho. Say you're a marine, with a mission I don't have clearance to talk about. Would you rather rely on your buddy to be able to hire some local to drive you through 50 miles of enemy territory (that translates into relying on a WYSIWYG to get the coding right for your design), or are you going to get a fellow marine to fly you in a marine helicopter, so you don't have to rely on something that might or might not work? Probably #2, if it's anything important. A WYSIWYG editor is great if you just need to pound something out quickly, and quality isn't as important as speed. But it can be a liability, putting your trust in it.
I'd still say it's not cheating to do things the old fashioned way, by hand. A WYSIWYG is like a ski lift, vs hiking all the way up the mountain. And I don't anyone would call the climber a cheater. But even aside from that, you're still doing it the best way possible to get the job done, and to hone your skills. So, cheers!
