The User, hopefully.  I know there are a lot of "painful" work for a web 
page developer that is needed to be done for the User to be able to use 
the site.  There are a lot of things I would never have done if it were 
not for the needs of the users.  I started out hand coding all my web 
pages, for over 5 years, before I found a "good enough" WYSIWYG web page 
editor.  I use to find thing I liked in other sites/pages and saw how 
they did the work.  Then I modified what I saw so it would do what I 
wanted to do.  I am not a good at this as I use to be when I spent 3 to 
4 hours every day editing code for web sites I worked on or just coding 
to figure out how I could do things with HTML coding for 3.x and then 
4.x.  Now there is 5.x to learn.  I use to keep code samples for future 
work or work on things that I just wanted to figure out how to do 
specific things.  All was hand coded.  Sometimes it seems simpler to 
hand code than edit problems created by issues with the WYSIWYG 
editor[s].  I started out as a main frame programmer for DEC computers 
and hand coding thing like General Ledger Accounting systems and a 
editor and error checker for coding RPG II files.  But that was in the 
70's and 80's.  PCs and Web pages in the 90's and forward.

On my page: http://www.lungstrom.com/list/  I use a navigation list with 
drop-down menus.  I found this JS file a while back and have used it for 
several sites I worked on for others.  I rather like the style that is 
on the LO pages, but still it helps the user find what they want with 
more options than you could get with a single line of tabs/links.
