    For design, and I know there are plenty of you that have your preferences, but I use both FP 2003 and Dreamweaver MX 2004. Depends on what I'm doing and why.

    But now Microsoft is planning to roll out a completely standards compliant tool called Microsoft Expression Designer. I've looked at the demo's and online presentation, and it certainly seems like Microsoft has finally come out with something geared for the professional.

    It is supposed to:

    1. Create Standards based css designs
    2. Create Standards based xhtml 1.0 code
    3. Include vey user friendly dymanic tools to work with databases of your choice
    4. Use master pages, which is a very cool asp.net technology

    And of course, completely do away with Front Page.

    So what are your thoughts?
