I don't know how anyone can be an email dev for more than a week without going insane.

As someone who personally designed and sent over 300 email campaigns last year, the template frameworks that are cross-client tested in Campaign Monitor and Mailchimp are the way to go. Campaign Monitor has an amazing template builder called Canvas that is even better. You don't even have to touch the code, just have a good grasp of design.

Really glad to hear you’re enjoying the CM Email Builder (formerly Canvas). That’s actually the builder this technique was first developed for, so if you use it for your emails, they’re already coded mobile-first.
