You do even have a point (I haven't touched a WYSIWYG HTML-editor in years), but only as long as you do design in-house, and code for yourself. PEAR should be for everyone. I've used PHPlib-templates (almost identical to IT[X] on template side, not on PHP-side), we sold our application, and some of our customers changed the design of the frontend themselves. Should we've told them they need better designers? Believe me, there are cases when you NEED the simplicity of IT[X]-style templates. regards Wagner -- "Ein Mathematiker ist eine Maschine, die Kaffee in Theoreme verwandelt."
