in thread Not Inciting a Holy War, but...
But when I wanted to do some serious design I found programs such as frontpage treat php tags as junk
Wel to answer this, don't use FrontPage it's a ugly program...
Better program everything yourself. Don't use this argument to promote perl over php. First program in what you feel comfortable with and start comparing languages when you kind of master one language reasonable good!
My opinions may have changed,
but not the fact that I am right

If you are working with non-programmers who may be called upon to do some design work then Frontpage is a great program. If your server supports the Frontpage extensions then Frontpage is a great program. Don't knock it just because its Microsoft. | [reply] |

Well,
let the designers design the website in photoshop/gimp. In nice 800X600 format(screen shot browser in 800 X 600 res put it in psd and design in the browser-window).
I'll look at the design(curse at the designer because it's difficult to implement in html) and cut it in nice pieces at program the html.
That's why I'm a programmer and that's why you need programmer and a designer to make a good website. Or your creative with grapics or your a whizz with programming code.But you can't be the best in both!!!!

I would never snub FrontPage because it's Microsoft...I snub it because it is terribly insecure
in the way that it ties into the server with it's extensions. Every book on server security I have
read says that you should strip out the extensions and mappings from your server and find a new way
to code your HTML.

FrontPage was originally designed for IntraNet web pages, and that's still where it really shines. Since your Intranet is behind a firewall (it is... isn't it?) then the security issues of the Server Extensions are not so big. Even on the net, with proper username/password policies, you're going to be fine 9 times out of 10.

No, I really don't want to comment on this, but: Frontpage is a piece of crap. If you really have to do something out of vi, there are better products.
