I for one have no qualms about putting up my hand and admitting to being a FP user. It was the right tool at the right time and has been a tremendous boon in getting acceptable work out the door at a price that the customer wanted to pay and which works quite happily with IE and NS.

Every site is going to need experience and finesse to bring it to life... that is the role of the designer and the tool of choice will always be an individual decision. Does FP have some bad table manners?... yes...are the others faultless?... I doubt that very much?

FP is a tool for getting html onto the page and it does that quite effectively. That process is totally removed from SEO tasks and all the issues that have to taken into account to give a site "findability".

Perfect it ain't, but a hell of a lot of people have got a start on the web that perhaps they wouldn't have without the simplicity of FP.
