I’m just going to go out an admit it. I do all of my photography on a three-year-old cheapo Kodak EasyShare camera. I use this example as the preface for a thesis: that the best tools do not make the best results. I’m reminded of the times of fanboyism in which people would proudly brand “Made on a Mac” or “Hosted on (mt) MediaTemple” at the footer of their sites. However, the sites themselves were a cesspool of poor design and despicable coding. This assumption of one tool guaranteeing a certain result is sadly still evident. Define your creation by it’s content, design, and functionality, not by the tools it utilized. It’s possible to make a beautiful web site in Notepad, TextEdit, or nano; and while Espresso or Coda may make the coding easier, it doesn’t mean their can be any less of an attention detail.
