What is good about FP is that it can get people to publish on the net, who would
never have done so without the software. Why that is good? Because it helps to
give all people an equal chance to publish. No matter where you're from, who you
are, what you have to say: you can without any special knowledge. All you need
to know is what you want to publish. You can focus on content, content and
content. And a bit on the looks.
It might easily be over ninety percent of the private publishers out there (no,
no studies, no statistics, just a hunge) who let FP (or Word or what ever) do
the job of creating markup. And who can blame them. Whatever the quality or lack
thereof, the stuff gets published and it is accessible to a large percentage of
the potential visitors.
Those using FP are actually people who have some authentic wish to publish in
the www. They don't use Word for the job, but got themselves a genuine piece of
software that is meant to do the job. They show some interest in doing it the
way it should be done. One should blame them for not knowing any better. At
least not initially.
Some may get the hang of it all. May get truely interested. May want more
control. May want knowledge on proper coding the markup. May want to know about
css. All because of FP and the like. If it wasn't for FP, the net wouldn't be
half as interesting as it is today. :-)
All imho of course.
