I must be the only guy using FrontPage, I like it because it's WYSIWYG and if you know Word you can build a good site in a couple of hours. I have been using it sense 1996 and have created and run over a dozen different websites.
I personally use Dreamweaver. I've been doing this for years and I was a notepad guy, but honestly, using an IDE is way easier. You still get to manage your code, but now you can see the process as you go, and you get tools like tag completion, auto-formatting, site management etc....
I think most still using plain text editors instead of an IDE (whether WYSIWYG or otherwise) may be those stuck in their ways and/or afraid of change.
Anything that does not add to your message... detracts from your message.
I cannot remember when I last viewed a "flash" intro without using the "skip intro" feature. If it was not offered, I "skipped" the web site
Since when is flash limited to intros? That's a real oldschool way of thinking. I have tons of sites and NONE of them have intros. Flash is used for everything from music/video players, to streaming radio, to games and to chats...
I have used both Frontpage and Dreamweaver. Frontpage is easy to use, Dreamweaver is a little more complex, but the code is cleaner, and it works with flash and the CSS is easier to create in Dreamweaver. Once I learned it, I do much prefer the Dreamweaver software.
I also purchased the generic shopping cart from ecommercetemplates.com to incorporte.
Learn to hand code CSS, HTML and some JavaScript and you'll be all set. I use putty + vi commands to design web pages. Plus, when you move into Flash (and eventually you will) action-scripting will make more sense to you.
However, if you have to use a GUI program, use Adobe Dreamweaver Studio8. It can be very useful when generating tables. But be sparingly with table design, use CSS+HTML to develop without them:
yup it is, which is why I use Notepad++, it really helps with PHP and CSS, two things I use to build a website (oh and mysql too). I'd have to learn to use Flash, someday, someway... maybe...
I've been using Homesite for 7 years and it's great. It's easy to see your HTML file directory on left and you can toggle between HTML code and Browser view which is really helpful.
I've been taking some Dreamweaver CS3 classes lately and that software rocks and works nicely with the other Adobe programs (Photoshop and Illustrator and Flash). I don't have experience in other software except Front Page but that was a long time ago so can't really say, but Dreamweaver is amazing!!
I have used FrontPage but my personal favorite is and always has been Dreamweaver. I like the fact that it is a WYSIWYG editor, and that even though I could spend hours typing in each individual code, I don't have to. It saves me alot of time that I'd rather spend trying to actually improve the site. Just my .02.
