I agree, Frontpage is a pig.  But I would not condemn all WYSIWYG editors 
due to its lack of merits. I often use a visual tool when starting a new 
project, just to generate a few standardized page layouts to solidify the 
look and feel of the site.  Clients like this, and I like it, because it 
gets the decorating out of the way up front.  Then I switch to a text 
editor and don't look back.
