I first started learning HTML with Frontpage Express. it would never let me use the HTML option so I had to type it out instead of copying it, so I had to get the full version...so I did and well worth the money for basic HTML things, I don't care what anyone says Frontpage is great for beginers

Dreamweaver is perfect for those complex rollovers I like to put into sites..

Dreamweaver for me

I use dreamweaver but I want to use other editors.

Yeah, I would agree frontpage is good for beginners as well, especially for people like me.
I never got myself to learn dreamweaver, so my favourite would still be Ms Frontpage currently.

front page adding unusual codes that crawlers cant read.. so im with dreamweaver...

Or adding unusual code that breaks other things...
And then you go to the coding part to fix it manually, and it works fine.
And then you switch back the the designer and it breaks again...

yup yup! that really happens to me once! just once because I never use again front page..

I use PSPad which is a text editor with language syntax highlighting options

Specialised editors can be pretty useful for the advanced user, but dreamweaver is terribly feature rich and user friendly.

Of course, that's if one can afford it. :P

I've been using dreamweaver since i wrote my first line
" hello world " in php (some 3 years back) but due to some reason i had a chance to use front page as well. it's good but dreamweaver is best. I found front page something like msword, i meant it's layout. Whereas the dreamweaver is cool when it comes to web or template development
