I used frontpage like... let me see... almost 10 years ago (actually like 8) and i dont know if macromedia existed back then, but i sure didnt know it.

Front page seemed the right thing, for a teenager that was entering this "internet realm".

I would say:

"NOTHING IS ABSOLUTE" there are just opinions. And what i think is that extreme hardcore programmers would match a combination of hand-writting code and dreamweaver, and for novices, frontpage will do the trick.

Since then, i have not used frontpage again, but i guess it would look in the same line as microsoft office products, so many people would think that, as they have been using office software, it might be easier to start diving into this "internet era" and "home page building mania" with something that they are comfortable with, like a product they already know (at least the background).

I searched the source code for microsoft dot com and did not find a clue for where it has been coded, like a geneartor meta tag or something. The code seemed a little bit weird, but nothing compromising (not that i know though). For me, it could have been done in notepad.

But macromedia is for web, and microsoft offers a lot of things (operating system, office packages, pc gaming software, gaming hardware and games for x-box, some design software and i dont know how much things else). So keep that in mind and you would find a complex answer: I prefer both an average user would say, as it depends on the user itself what is his software of choice.

Thanks...

well of course dreamweaver is much better than frontpage. Adobe is a competition with dreamweaver. At the moment Dreamweaver is still better.

Adobe GoLive.
It's kinda like macromedia's dreamweaver, but neater and whatever.

All I ever need in a website program thingie, is a place where I type code in, and a place where I can see the result, I never even use its main functions or buttons, type it all out.

It's got good auto-fillers, so I don't have to type the same thing for like.. ever.
Plus I trust adobe a lot more than either macromedia or microsoft.

dreamweaver is better with Dreamweaver, you can create your own templates and use them to edit hundreds of pages on your website with a single mouse click.Pages created with Dreamweaver typically result in cleaner HTML code, and they look almost perfect in Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Opera.
FrontPage is ideal for beginners since it provides so much help and tons of templates. You should switch to Dreamweaver after you become more comfortable with HTML code.

Dreamweaver is defiantly a better program. Much easier to work with a generates clean code which can be understood. I’ve used front page and personally its not even a comparison Dreamweaver is definitely better.

i think with Dreamweaver you can manage code easy
but with frontpage you can manage tables and html code easy
when i want to design website at first design in fornt page then programming in Dreamweaver
you can install/download many options for Dreamweaver with Macromedia Extension Manager but front page have not this option
every day Macromedia desingers make one external option for Dreamweaver but for fornt page you must wait for next version
