First off, I'm not an *nix freak or an MS basher, but can they really create a product that doesn't churn out proprietary and bloated code?

Yeah, it's actually called Frontpage ;-).

Frontpage itself never really added a heck of a lot besides its webbots. Most of the old "code bloat" talk was from folks pasting formatted text in from MS Word and the like, that's where all the extraneous junk came from. It only takes 5 minutes or so to set up FP to write whatever kind of code you want. I'm currently using it for a couple of tableless, CSS-designed, perfectly valid HTML strict sites where there's no hint in the code that they were developed using FP.

But alas, now that EWD is on the way, I have delved into the PHP world just to be prepared.
