Expression Web

I recently downloaded the trial version of Expression Web and took a first look.

I see Expression Web as a step up from Microsoft's FrontPage product. I never cared for Frontpage. Each time I attempted to create a web site using FrontPage, I got frustrated with the automated code updates it created and the lack of features and ended up importing the site into Visual Studio to complete and maintain. Expression Web is easier to use than Visual Studio and attempts to put many commonplace code edits into dialog based configuration settings rather than requiring you to update code. I see Expression Web as a possible time saver for building out simple sites with simple logic.

For me, I don't use Visual Studio on a daily basis and don't need most of the functionality it provides. I would welcome an easy-to-use version of Visual Studio and hope Expression Web will provide a new timesaving tool.
