Ssshhhh! The idea is not to frighten the horses. To talk all
positive like. Not to be too strident and scare him/her off. So
one says stuff like the above. But simple inspection of the logic
will reveal that if in order to use A well, you need to be able
to do without A at all, it will become evident that one needs a
pretty good reason to go back to use A. In the case of Frontpage,
I am not certain there is a good reason but perhaps this is
unfair. I have no idea about Frontpage really: there are people,
I know some, who are really very good at css and html but find
that the use of things like Dreamweaver an aid to their
construction of a new and big site.
