Still More about webpage editing

I'd hate to admit it, but yes I too use Frontpage 2000.  (But don't bash me
too hard.  I use vi 75% of the time for other things.)
I have to admit that Frontpage is damn good for the job and I already have
it... came with my computer.  Quick and easy GUI editing for expediance, and
a HTML mode when I need it (very often).  Anyone know of a free alternative
to Frontpage that works just as well?

And I would have to disagree that Frontpage mangles your code.  That may
have been true with Frontpage 97 and Frontpage Express, but 2000 seems to be
good in leaving your existing format intact.  Yeah, it isn't perfect, but it
isn't very bad like earlier versions.  I find those <DIV> tags annoying.


Ok, you may now flame me now, but please find me a better (and free) editor.
If its any consolation I have three SSH sessions open all the time, and I
use Cygwin... and I'll convert away from Outlook Express one day, but for
now I'm too lazy.
