Re: dreamweaver or frontpage?

I missed the opening question in this thread, so I'll
chime in based on Mark Nelson's response.

One other problem with Frontpage is that it insert
proprietary tags into the code. The website itself has
to be set up to handle these "extensions." Dreamweaver
uses standard HTML.

I much prefer Dreamweaver - it has great site
management tools, with the ability to synchronize a
remote site with the local one (or vice-versa). Using
Dreamweaver, you can mirror the site on you desktop
for editing purposes. Then you can sync with the real
site.

Dreamweaver, however, is not good if you have a team
of developers working on the site. There is a huge
potential for one person to overwrite the work of
another.

Of all the tools I've used recently, I've fallen in
love with Dreamweaver and use it almost exclusively
now (Notepad, however, comes in handy for small changes).
