MS FrontPage never lived up to its potential when dreamweaver arrived.

And MS has internal competition: Windows Live Spaces.

I agree with Miguel, it’s now MySpace and Friendster which makes these kids crazy over webdesign.

Haven’t used FrontPage extensively, been a fan of Dreamweaver eversince. hehe***

Good for M$, it’s a great decision to admit failure hehe

I was using Frontpage 2003 (yeah, I was a n00b then, gimme some slack) before I started blogging seriously. And Miguel is right, MySpace is now the bottom rung for kids with bad design taste.

Even in the 90s, webmasters are wary of using Frontpage. You’ll be ostracized by your peers if you use it, back then.

The HTML code produced even in the newest release, was just awful.

The main competitor of Frontpage in the 90s was Homesite, which as purchased by Macromedia, which was purchased by Adobe.

Either way, Adobe wins in the end.

I don’t think anything killed FrontPage. It’s so horendoulsy crappy and useless, even its creator Microsoft refuses to use it for their websites. Sad and alone, it committed suicide.

Blogging sites replaced personal home pages for the older users. But for the kids who used to make flashing and blinking webpages – it’s now MySpace!
