A lot of people out there "hates" Frontpage. Our company have been updating
most of our pages in Frontpage the last 3 years. we make first the page in
Homesite, then make a "template" of it in Frontpage. We use Frontpage
mainly because the ability to convert M$ Office documents easy. I would say
it would have been hopeless for us to code in the updates in Homesite (We
have about 5000 html pages) because of the amount of information we receive
each week in M$ Word format.

Okay, it makes a bad code, but i wouldn't say it is buggy. I can party
understand that a lot of you don't like the idea of all the wasted tags it
makes, but when I surf the net and get message after message that a Java
script don't work or some plug-in messes it all up I don't get the point
anymore. A lot of the codes out there contains more crappy code then
Frontpage would ever make.

Btw, what basic function does Frontpage lack?
