For real editing, frontpage SUCKS.
Unfortunately, Adobe whined "They took my patent, WAAAAAAAAAAAH!" and thus got to buy macromedia - and jack up the price even more than it was before.

I wish the open source movement would hurry up with something good... :D

1. Don't be a wimp
code it in a regular text editor - even Dreamweaver 8 has trouble rendering CSS correctly.

3. HomeSite, dude, HOMESITE!
Even Macromedia couldn't fuck that one up after they bought it!

Either that or get HTML-Kit. Free to download and use, plus there's plenty of user-contributed modules for code hightlighting/generation.

5. Adobe? Macromedia? FrontPage is made by Microsoft.
I wouldn't use it for serious web development, but for quick and dirty stuff, it's great. Honestly, I use FrontPage the way I used to use Notepad for personal notes, lists of favorite quotes, reminders, recipes, etc.

6. Indeed, Frontpage produces the *most* effed up code I have ever seen.
Seriously, what is that crap it makes?
