DreamWeaver vs. FrontPage

[mbdw6708]

I am using FrontPage right now and have heard many good things about DreamWeaver.  Please give me feedback on the differences between the two. Thanks

there have been a number of threads dedicated to this topic- they usually end up in a number of people saying &quot;I like this better&quot; and you're left with a number of personal opinions (mine is that DreamWeaver is better, but Notepad is best).<br><br>As both of them are far from 1st generation products, they both have very developed features. The first thing I tend to dislike about Frontpage is that it's an MS product. Very closely tied to that is the fact that it's a proprietary product- many features will only work on certain servers that are FP-enabled, and I don't think those features are worth buying frontpage for. I haven't used Frontpage enough to be able to tell you much more about it (although that's my choice- I don't want to use Frontpage that much). DreamWeaver is not a product I use often- when I do web development, I like the total and absolute control that notepad gives me. I don't like editing HTML with a GUI interface, and I'm very concerned about how my code looks. DreamWeaver gives me a decent amount of control. I can choose tag display options and tabbing options. The last version of Frontpage I used formatted all tags the way that it wanted them to be formatted. Frontpage was a pain, so I stopped using it. I'm not sure what it has now, but I don't think it's worth the effort finding it out. DreamWeaver can solve any problem I need to solve with it, and that's good enough for me. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=
