john..have you tried Dreamweaver 4? Or better yet Dreamweaver 4 Ultradev??
I think it has all the advantages of Frontpage that you mentioned, without
those nasty drawbacks.
It isn't as neatly laid out, however, and thus takes some getting used to as
you make the transition from Frontpage.
The Site manager's features are there, but you need to get accustomed to it.
There is a trial available..give it an honest try for a week. It WILL be a
bit difficult finding where everything is if FP is all you've used, but I
think you will at least seriously consider it as an alternative after just a
week of trying to use it.
