I have a couple of hosting clients who insist on using FrontPage. They have great looking sites, until you look at two of them and realise they've got templates from some site somewhere and just changed the text.
Then I get emails complaining how slow they are to load, and I see that the 150x50 images are actually 1800x600 images displayed at 150x50 so they download the whole large uncompressed file. Add to that all the burden code they have with fragmented tags, font tags on and off everywhere, empty paragraph tags, empty font tags, additional and unnecessary style tags etc etc.. and you can take a page from 150kb down to about 15mb without doing a lot of thinking. Oh and don't try to look at their sites with Netscape. I do hope this new version is better.

We expect it to produce proprietary, MS-oriented mark-up that only works in IE6. But then we're cynical.
