1st - FrontPage is a Microsoft Product

2nd - FrontPage is a Microsoft Product meant to run on under IIS on a Windows platform.

3rd - To run under Linux a layered product is required (by ChilliSoft)

4th - Microsoft runs to much of the Internet/web/desktop etc. now.

5th - IMHO FrontPage sucks and is for secretarys maybe.

6th - All the rest of the reasons I'm to leazy tp type out.

Conclusion is:

Use Dreamweaver and Notepad. Take a few courses in HTML, java etc. Hey, its all just a matter of tags.

i used to use frontpage only back in the days..switched to dreamweaver approx. 6 months ago.

It's hard at first since you're new with the interface, but once you make a few sites you never go back

Dreamweaver MX 2004, nothing else even comes close.

heh yeah i was lazy and never learnt any HTML at all. I just let frontpage do all the work for me

I like frontpage. Then again I don't use it like people are supposed to...

I just use it to move around a page graphically and edit the html manually. Auto replace and preview are good too.

Its too damn buggy to be used any other way. Stuff disappears, can't get to tables, weird shit.

Dreamweaver seems a little too cluttered with stuff that I don't even use.

Myself? Pico.

But I understand that some people don't have an in-depth knowledge of html enough to understand it in a text-editor, even such as notepad (my first editor!).

I used Front Page for a few years, and cursed at it constantly for adding extra tags (hint for those that still use it, paste your code in the html tab, and that won't happen quite so badly), but Dreamweaver is a far cry from that bullshit. Still, using Dreamweaver in the visual mode still causes a lot of automatic crap, that tries to determine your intentions for you. I use Dreamweaver in the "programmer/development" mode, and never use the visual tab.

Dreamweaver has distinct advantages for a few reasons:

1. It doesn't fuck with php! It might not know what it's trying to do, but it leaves it the fuck alone. Not like FrontPage, which tries to "correct" the php.

2. The color separation of tags in the coding tab in Dreamweaver lets you see pretty quickly and easily where you have made an error.

3. The Find and Replace functions in Dreamweaver absolutely blow FrontPage out of the water. Back in the day before I started using SSI, Dreamweaver's F&R easily made it worth the price when doing daily updates.

My FrontPage 2000 CD currently resides under my stove's left leg, to shim up the slant in the floor. I guess it still comes in handy, somehow.

Jere.
