Definitely! -- although it's _not_ an excellent program.
My own beef isn't with the CSE program, it's with AW's mis-selling of
it, and with this whole notion of "HTML is hard". That's an attitude
fostered by the sellers of poor tools, mainly wysiwyg tools, who need
to do this to encourage sales of their products. If beginners instead
began by being told "HTML is easy, here's the basics in 5 minutes"
they'd lose their fear of it and could learn the more complicated
aspects gradutally.
Read the first chapter of Lie & Bos' Cascading Style Sheets book.
Although it's nominally a CSS book, that first chapter is one of the
best introductions to the real _intention_ of HTML around.
