Forms are easy to create and, if you then use something like
cgiEmail to control the forms, you have some good stuff. Once
you get to understand the nitty gritty of FP, and what you can
eliminate from the final product, it ain't bad. I have used it
since the Beta days at Vermeer (from whom MS purchased it) and
had the same issues everybody else has. Now, I find it very easy
to use, saves a ton of time and, since we know what to dump, it
does not add a lot of extraneous stuff to the code. And, their
use of bots preceded CSS and is the greatest time saver. You
create one header and one navigator page and use the bot to
include it, all automatically.
