Hi Eddie, Editing source is convenient when you want to do quick changes or write some code not allowed yet by the Amaya's authoring environment (complex copy & paste, SVG animations...). Nevertheless, source authoring is not the main purpose of Amaya and you may find many complementary tools that do the things better ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_code_editor ). The philosophy is rather to propose a structured XML editor throughout a WYSIWYG interface. The ability of Amaya to preserve a valid structure is only one of the consequence of the (necessary) work at this higher level.
