"Sothink Menu"
Version: Sothink DHTML Menu 5.0 build 50303
Pros
I've been using this product for 2 years. It works great with Front Page and as a stand alone. My buddy uses it with Dreamweaver and loves it. Easy to modify and great to use with Icons
Cons
The only draw back I've ever seen is that it can be a bit buggy in a Front Page shared border. It is more likely to be a Front Page problem than a Sothink problem.

"Saves Time and Money"
Version: Sothink DHTML Menu 5.0
Pros
This program has saved me so much time and money. The main feature that has sone so is the JavaScript feature for the menus. Once a menu is created, instead of pasing DHTML coding in to your websites, you can export the menu as two JavaScript files. If you change the menu, you just update the two JavaScript files. There's two lines of coding that goes in your websites which call the two JavaScript files. So, when you update your menu, you just replace the JavaScript files. For those that design large sites, this is a Godsend.
"Site Navigation Generator". This feature scans HTML pages to look for links, then compile a DHTML menu based upon those hyperlinks and the settings you configure. I had a site which had over 100 links on the index page. The ease of use of this program allowed me to simply drag and drop the new navigation buttons in to sub categories.
This program is a must for anyone's arsenol of web developing products!
Cons
None

"Good program, poor licensing/registration plan"
Version: Sothink DHTML Menu 4.4
Summary
I don't like that once you register this program it will only work on one computer (plus 1 mobile computer) because of the machine fingerprint. I run 4 computers and that plan just wouldn't work for me.

"Great Program, Very Flexible"
Version: Sothink DHTML Menu 4.4
Summary
The program comes with templates to create DHTML menus. My favorite feature is not just the fact it writes all of the DHTML code for you, but gives you the option to export them as a .js (javascript file). Using this method, you don't need to paste any DHTML code in to your website. Two lines of javascript, one in the header and the other in the body. After that, when you update your menus, you simply update your .js file. All of the menus on your site update with it (your website calls the .js file).
This feature alone has saved me hours of time. The program is more than worth the $35.00.
The only problem I encountered was my initial key did not work. Other than that everything has worked great.
For those whom are savvy to customizing, the program allows a large amount of customization of the style of your menu.
