I want the site managment capabilities of FPExplorer, the integration
with other apps in the MS suite, the ease of ASP creation, and the team
collaboration over a network.
I've never had a problem with FP code on any web server (NT, UNIX, SUN,
Apache), my machines have never crashed when running FR, I own it, I'm
comfortable with it, the new assignment's database is an Access database
which I can easly create dynamic query access from FP, and I've seen
FP2000 and it ROCKS!! Also, the new version really does preserve
imported HTML without alterations.
However, as I said (3 times), I don't want to make this a "who's code is
better" discussion, because, to be honest, virginal code is just not my
priority. I applogize for it, but I'm just not a purist...I'm a
deliverablist.

I'm not interested in awards..I'm interested in getting it deployed as
quickly as possible and based on MY experience, I can deploy faster with
FP than any other platform. I'm going to be learning at least four
additional tools/skills. I'm sure you can understand me not wanting to
make it five if I don't have to.
