If HAML's not your thing then ok, to each his own. But the people here dismissing HAML out of hand because it's "easier" to just write the HTML by hand sound like people advocating typewriters over word processors. The whole reason to abstract HTML away is because it's easy. Writing HTML by hand is repetitive and boring. If you still enjoy it, you probably haven't been doing it for very long.
