I'll choose dreamweaver since it's a pretty great piece of software to aid in developing pages, although I'm still stuck on an out-dated version having since the newer versions are getting pricier by the versions. Frontpage is easier to use than dreamweaver, but I usually end up bloating my pages, especially if I were to use CSS styles on Frontpage.
frontpage is bullshit. dw rocks but can be a bit complicated for newbies. i've started with NVU. free stuff, extremely easy and cool. i use nvu to do the basics and the rest with dw.
Of both, Dreamweaver by a long shot. However for professional web design even Dreamweaver doesn't cut it.
Personally, I should advise reviewing the basics of HTML before even considering a WYSIWYG editor. Try writing some basic pages with a text editor first, and understand what the markup does and then once you know what you're doing you can make an intelligent choice on the development tool you wish to use....
This thread was reopened by a spammer. It's a year and a half old and you guys are responding to it. btw, FrontPage hasn't been sold by Microsoft in years and is the worst auto code generator ever made.
Brother first use Fontpage or the updated version Mircrosoft Expression. The highest used apps is Dreamwaver I know. But I think it is for no brainers. If you seriously want to learn and use web designing and web development as your profession then you must move forward to the handcoding. It makes you master in each and every code, syntax, elements etc. structure that we use for web. So that you can handle any coding problem even with a notepad. Because a Web Master should not depend on gadget. Make yourself so hard so that you can work on any environment.
