I use Frontpage Editor for all my page development.  I used to do straight HTML 
programming.  I find that I get a better feel for how my page will look using the 
editor.  Plus, there is a selection of background and link colors from which you may 
choose.  You can see how photos will look without firing up your browser to view the 
page.  There are some editing tools as well for graphics which allow for blending of 
background page color with your graphic image.  You will still need to edit using HTML 
programming in that you cannot directly edit code within the Frontpage program.  For 
instance, I wanted to add a Java applet and had to directly program this in outside of 
the editor.

It took a little adjustment time, but I am quite happy with the product.  Many of the 
Center Directors on the Naples FreeNet are using it as well and are quite happy with it.
