Frontpage...mmm what a dragon of a program. I've tried it and almost immediately dumped it. I make websites for both the Windows- and Linux-world, so I prefer to use a tool I can run on both. At this time, I'm using Dreamweaver MX on Windows and on Linux with CrossOver Office. I hardly ever use the wysiwyg-features of it though, as I mainly use the pages for database access and program logic. I use both ASP and PHP as coding languages. I also regularly use other tools for the plain coding, which are Quanta under Linux and CoffeeCup Editor under Windows.
For CSS, I use a great tool called TopStyle under both OSes.
If you need to make some serious websites, Frontpage is the absolute worst choice as it screws up the HTML.
As a check for how my pages display, I use Mozilla, Firefox and IE. Any code that doesn't work the same in all 3 is automatically discarded by me as non-standard and therefor not acceptable.
The main feature that keeps me using DreamweaverMX is the help it provides in maintaining the links accross big sites - move files and your links in the whole site will be updated. Great stuff.
