  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />MichaelAlderete, Frontier is not standards compliant nor does it do external CSS. MT and the other bloggers do. Frontier does not plug into any of these other solutions easily, so why should we use it? So, to follow your analogy, I can have a program like Final Cut that is 'high end' (read, expensive enough to keep the amateurs out), but that is difficult to mate with -proven- and -cheaper- (not to mention easier) solutions. But this program only outputs proprietary tag soup that runs on its own server and doesn't easily plug into anything else. Kind of reminds me of PageMill, another dead application. PageMill had a lot of flash for the time, and a lot of object oriented formatting crapola for those who didn't want to learn HTML. Unfortunately major tag pollution + no document charset/encoding handling = death for PageMill. So where does that leave Frontier?

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I just installed this program because I was curious what all the hype was about. The install went fine, but after installed it immediately asked me for a database file to use. Obviously I've never used the product before so I pressed cancel and procedded to file then new to create one. Well every option I clicked on caused the program crashed. Well from my small experience I definately think the program is worth 899. I mean how often can you get a program for more than a hundred dollars that doesn't really do anything but crash. (Besides windows of course)
