If you are not using Cake to process the form why use FormHelper when
a good old hand-coded form in HTML works.
To me Helpers are great time savers when you are utilizing the
frameworks features: validations, auto read/write values to view,
posting to the next action in your controller. If your not using the
built features of cake for a form the helpers could slow down your
performance compared to hard-coded HTML that does not need processing.
Does anyone else agree with this opinion?
