asked it in software, seems no one has. Looks like its the new frontpage.

*shudder*

Not to bad.... it's one of those things for everyday people who wanna be wannabe designers (again, refer to frontpage). I dabbled in it just to get frustrated and take my code into notepad ans just hand-edit the bloody thing myself. Give it a shot if you think it's worth the time. The thing is good if you're starting out and wanting to learn web design (or if you just need to pull something out of your ass in 15 minutes for a last miinute presentation at work *ahem*). Have fun!

It's good. It's very similar to TopStyle if you've tried that. And also Dreamweaver. I'd say it's basically on par with those two.

However. It doesn't have support for the range of languages that Dreamweaver (or even Notepad++!) does. Just HTML/CSS/JS/ASP if I recall.

That's why I ditched it.

Maybe that's changed since the beta.

if it doesn't support PHP they may as well give up now.

Seriously.

I guess they think not supporting other server side programming languages is going to automatically convert people to ASP development. And new people who buy it will start learning ASP because they won't know about the other languages.

Similar to the way Dreamweaver people often just pick ColdFusion by default.

It advertises it supports ASP.NET, still can't see why anyone would use it over Visual Studio - especially when Visual Web Developer Express is free.
