For example Book View works flawlessly for entering text and writing. The problems come from certain types of editing. Selecting text and dragging can add unwanted tags. I switch to code view to move formatted text around, edit lists and do other problematic operations.

Regardless, I can sometimes spend hours writing in Book View and pasting in text from other documents and when I finally switch to Code View and look, there is very little or nothing to clean up. I get hours of distraction-free, HTML-free writing and all I have to do is switch to Code view for a few seconds and check my work occasionally. It's worth it. Out of the 25 or 30 writers and editors I work with no one has a problem with this.
