1st Page is a disgustingly-unoriginal rip off of Homesite. 
I have it, and two different versions of Homesite. I don't 
particularly like either one's user interface. I wish the 1st 
Page developers would do something original, like come 
up with a better user interface.

BTW, some people prefer WYSIWYG environments 
because they have great difficulty working with piles of 
HTML tags and text. We have a user here who maintains 
a single file on one of our intranet sites. I had him try 
various non-WYSIWYG HTML editors, and he always 
had problems updating the correct places. So I had him 
try a WYSIWYG editor (AOL Press) - no more problems!

IOW, everyone works differently.

Oh, and before anyone tries to pigeonhole me - I use 
HTML editors for real work, myself. ;-)
