Bizarre thought, until I remembered someone recently who still swore by it for doing web pages in preference to DreamWeaver, Frontpage and the likes.

I must admit to listing it on CVs before now. It is a bit of a joke and has brought a laugh at interviews.
I do web dev and find the suggestion of using notepad over dreamweaver a bit of a joke too. Let's see how quick your mate can make nested tables (passe, yeah I know) or spot broken tags without the help of a tool like DW. It is a huge time saver over hand coding. Only a complete dick would make a statement like that.
Oh yeah, anyone who uses Frontpage is a tool as well. -

Every programmer should be able to use the basic tools that come with the system they work on, like notepad or vi, SQLPLUS or whatever. That's what you can always find on any machine. I think I could still use EDLIN but it's not on my CV!Originally posted by SallyAnneI write all my code in notepad like - I dont know why.

I don't put notepad on my CV but I do still have an entry for vi as you'll be surprised how many *nix "gurus" can't use it - nevermind the point and clicky Windows people.Comment

I can imagine a CV being rejected by an agent because it wasn’t listed and the client had put something like ‘be able to make changes to HTML files using editors like Notepad’.
Resourcer calls, “Your CV looks good, but I can’t see Notepad anywhere. How many years experience have you got using it? What version was it? Would you say you are good or expert in using it? My client has listed it as a ‘must have’ and wont budge on this.”Drivel is my specialityComment
