I can do both, to some extent. If I need a really tricky CSS implementation, I have a variety of consulting friends to call on and/or subcontract to. I believe that every tech writer should push his or her limits in using the tools and playgrounds (yes, I find CSS to be endlessly fascinating). I like Flare so much because it is so extensible.
The Flare interface scared me when I first saw it (I forget what version), and I neglected it for years. It wasn't until I got "under the covers" with styling that I felt accomplished in any real sense. I had the same feeling when I got into FrameMaker years before that - it was overwhelming at first, but then I began to see the logic. And sure you can make a website with Flare. I am working on a prototype done entirely in Flare, very bare bones. It's at www.jackdeland.com, but will move to www.howtoreadpoe.com when I get some free time to pump it up. Yes, I KNOW the graphics are very high res and therefore weighty. That's my intent.

Content design is very different from presentation design. It's rare to find someone who can do both.
