Once you got the hand of it but most of all you understand why things do what they do you can definitely use Emmet. It's a tool that can improve your productivity.

Treehouse TeacherSamuel Lopez's advice is very good. I would really practice HTML a lot before turning to Emmet. Emmet is convenient but it is in no way an industry standard -- for example you won't see a job description ever say "Emmet knowledge required."

Treehouse TeacherHi Daniel Muvdi,
I've yet to give Emmet a try. But, I do agree 100% with Samuel and Dave on learning HTML/CSS syntax and hand code first before relying on Emmet –– or any plugin, library or preprocessor. :)
