I still think you're better off with a program that facilitates the creation of code by hand, and produces code that is clean, predicatable and easy to edit. Probably cheaper too. Right now I'm trying out a Windows based one call 40tude which I quite like (www.40tude.com). I've also used Allaire's Homesite which was very similar. I've only had the briefest of experiences with FrontPage which ended up in me throwing out the code and starting over again! I also don't like Composer because I find it awkward. I've never had the chance to work with Dreamweaver. As for training faculty, we still teach them the actual code using Notepad and Netscape, but I'm starting to hear lots of complaints that I'm old fashioned in this approach.
