eeh. why bother. I'm never embarrassed by it.

I've often been surprised by the "digital bigotry" that some people have.
I'm reasonable sure that no carpenter would think ill of another because of
the hammer he uses, why should we "web people" do similar.

I think it's because of fear and self-doubt. these people who want to be
thought of or think of themselves as "high-end" are just using this to lower
their feelings towards others in an effort to make themselves feel more
"valid".

the fact is that it doesn't matter what tool is used to make the page, if
you really want to be "top end" you've got a lot more going on than some
editor GUI.

personally I continue to use FrontPage unabashedly because it's such a good
"management" system, and I find the GUI very comfortable. FrontPage 2003
does have it head and shoulders over any other release too.

</Rant> ;-)
