I work with an Intranet just starting up, and the company wants to use
FrontPage because "it's standard, and because when one person leaves the
next one can just pick up where they started."

I happen to think FP is a dog except for possible site management, which
I'm just learning.  (And I don't happen to think speaking your mind about a
program is a bad thing, I should hope we learn about products on this list!)  

What I would like input  on is how to argue for allowing people to use the
program of their choice.  I don't think FP is the panacea for all
departmental sites that the exec's think it is, but I need fodder to show
them why it should be just one of many choices. 

They respond well to things like space issues (with the tabs Michael wrote
about earlier, that FP puts extra stuff in).  Any other ideas on the
disadvantages from a nondesign point of view appreciated.
