Why bother learning how to place a trigger when I can just place them in the pti? 
because learning hammer will get you better results if you know the basics and expectations.

I can do all the hard stuff in pti, then just re texture and fix connections in Hammer, what else do I really need to do? I mean, sure those 128x128 brushes are a pita to re texture, but still.
*sigh* It depends what kind of mapping you want to do, I suppose.
I WOULD be using Hammer had my current computer not work with it. It'll do the GUI, but the compiler doesn't work on instances, or on any model in the .vmf. Here's the compiler error:
"could not load instance /common/portal 2/portal2/instances... and so on, then Hammer crashes, so Hammer is pretty much useless to me. That's why I'm waiting for something like this to come out!
That's probably a problem with your game installation. Verifying your game cache might fix it.
(Steam games list, right-click Portal 2, click "properties", go to "local files" and click "verify integrity of game cache")
If that doesn't work and you want to ask for help, start a new topic in Hammer and Modding and give as much info as possible on what's going wrong.

*facepalm* hammer is just soo much better and really not that much more difficult
right, and I prefer good mapping

I just made a new page on our back-stock website

I'll post a link there for the download whenever I finish it, which will hopefully be today
Hammer is far superior, and the PTI is only really good for prototyping ideas.

Quite a lot of snobishness directed at PTI users here.
