So the advantage to WYSIWYG is instant gratification and automated coding. It's great for amateurs and if you're just posting to a form but it complicates site building because now you have crap in your files that you don't understand. To the extent you want to build something original and editable, you should avoid dynamic template editors -- they inevitably change three things whenever you change one thing. Most of what I've seen them produce is irrelevant or incidental to what I'm trying to accomplish. But if your boss only wants you to build something static with a few minor changes to a template, maybe he's right. Not all projects call for elegance, creativity and adaptability.
