If you can't code a site on a piece of paper you shouldn't be using development environments yet, you aren't at that stage of learning. Muse, Dreamweaver, whatever, development environments are for people who have already learned the basics and can write markup naturally or you end up with a pile that fails on some level or another.

You sound like OP saying he used to test "designers" by giving them a pencil and telling them to draw a stick figure.
There's a lot of people who can code web sites with Notepad who have no real talent or expertise at graphic design. Yet many pass themselves off as if they're professional graphic designers. Then guys like me get to fix the "art" they generate when the customer needs a sign using some of the same elements.
However, I'm predicting the flood gates are going to burst wide open here and anyone who thinks they can design will assume that the software makes the designer and start creating poor websites.. It's kind of similar to what has happened in the sign industry. There are some real down sides of making an industry too accessible for anyone to try.
hey, if the crappy sign matches the crappy $99 logo which matches the crappy website then you can just call it branding.
From what I am learning, you can take any site, that isn't flash, and make it rank well. Code is not as important as people think. I mean don't get me wrong I realize it is important, but more so for national and international players that are trying to out rank the world.Where are options to configure SEO? You can design a pretty site all you want with no code, but it's useless if nobody can find it while doing a google search.
