My Review of Microsoft Expression Web
Over the past thirty days I’ve tried out the demo version of Expression Web - Microsoft’s successor to Frontpage.
I’m thoroughly unimpressed and underwhelmed.
As far as I’m concerned, Microsoft took a giant step backward with this software.
Before I begin criticizing - let me tell you what I liked.
um…… well….. er….. hmm…..
Okay, I liked the split screen feature.
Other than that, I found this software to be good for absolutely nothing better than to send as a Christmas gift to people I despise a whole lot.
The number one complaint I’ve heard about frontpage over the years is how it writes bloated source code.
Expression web takes this to a whole new level. Attempting to write css and doing it badly.
The worst part, though, is that any php page I edited in expression web ended up with these weird little characters on the page.
Not since Windows ME has microsoft struck out so badly.
