Hang on, Homesite worked fine for WYSIWYG for me. It's brilliant on code. Now, having moved away from PC and on to the Mac's I'm a Dreamweaver user too. DW8 is brilliant!
It's over 6 years ago I used Frontpage. At first thought it was the bee's knees until I knew different. With Fireworks and Dreamweaver I gained a whole different understanding on what can be done.
