Hmm... now if I can only find an editor that is worth me spending my
valuable time trying to make it do what I want, instead of what it wants for
my code.... Or there are those nice little text boxes... they don't assume
they know better than me...

Hmm... strange then that I have used (as have many others) it to produce
some very complex (And some think atractive and even elegant) sites. I had
always assumed it was aimed at people who wanted to design websites with
some server side inteligence - Seems a logical assumption, after all that is
what it allows.
