It's not people like you that we have a problem with. We understand your
frustration. Most of us have been there.

It's the people who know how to use one of these canned WYSIWYG HTML
editors and then believe that they are capable of enterprise-level
applications. It's those people that these packages are oriented towards,
because most talented people either don't need these packages or use them
only for truly disgusting tasks.

Lemme tell all of you a little secret: I use FrontPage 2000. I don't use
it because I don't know HTML, or because I'm too lazy to code it
manually. I use it for two reasons exclusively:

1) As a connection between my web server and my text editor (EditPlus). I
have yet to see a decent SSH client for Win32, and I'm not certain that I
will for a time. However, we have the FrontPage Server Extensions working
perfectly on our web servers.

2) I hate doing frames manually. In fact, I refuse to. I hate frames, so I
just have FrontPage do the frames, and I fill in the content myself.

I still find it better to go into text mode for HTML editing, and of
course it's completely useless for PHP, but it's just a matter of looking
for the proper uses, something HTML "experts" don't bother with.
