Net Object Fusion creates the most grotesque HTML I have ever seen. Be
prepared. If you do NOT know HTML then you are in for a treat.

A Dreamweaver page should be a piece of cake for you to bring into FP. Its
code is clean and tidy (mostly). The one thing to be aware of is this - if
the pages are under control of a Dreamweaver template, and if that template
was created using Dreamweaver MX or Dreamweaver MX2004, then you are in
trouble, since FP cannot understand DMX/DMX2004 template markup.

I hope that nobody in the current round of 'ownership' will be using
anything other than FP to maintain this site - that's where other troubles
will arise, too - two simultaneous editors using different authoring
products.

It would entirely depend on how good you are. A good coder can use FP in
such a way that the page is nearly authoring system agnostic.
