I'm not sure if I completely agree. While FP 2003 will support .NET 1.x, it
still has issues, especially since you cannot use code-behind if you use FP
2003.
Frankly, having used both FP 2003 and VS 2003, both designers are rather
kludgy. On the other hand, VS 2005 will at least keep the HTML code stable
and not reformat it each and every time you go in and out of the designer.
Still, in the long run, you're probably better with writing the code and
then previewing the page in your browser.
Yes, let the designers design; however, the intent behind that is that the
designer using the VS designer and the programmer uses VS to program the
code-behind.
Overall, FP 2003 does not support .NET 2.0, so I don't believe that it'll be
an option for you if you use something like a ContentPlaceHol der object.

Is the design in VS 2005 Professional+ the same as provided in the 2005
Express Edition? If so, then FrontPage clearly is superior from a
design standpoint. I thought that was the whole point behind
CodeBehind?...l et the designers work on pretty pages while the
developers write the logic.
