I usually agree that bashing a piece of MS software isn't very constructive, but geez, we're talking FP here ;-)

1 it like to make a couple of extra directories - and on modern servers a few extra bytes really isn't a problem.

As long as FP would limit the extra bytes to the server, I wouldn't have any probs with it, but it generates tons of HTML "crap" that you spit towards your visitors. Not very nice, IMNSHO.

I'm already using FP and my pages run on a UNIX server and any browser - so what is non-standard?

The frontpage extensions for one ... After I've seen what it had done to a server, I refuse to touch a server which has them installed (the "installer" messed a LOT up, permission-wise). Besides that, it may look good in "any" browser you have tested, but I bet my money on it that it doesn't validate ;-)

If you're used to editing stuff by hand already (which is a good thing, if you'd ask me) why not use the earlier mentioned gvim? Or any text editor for that matter. Since you run your site on a UNIX machine, SSH into it and edit your files there. Then you can see the results of your alterations in Perl scripts right away :-)
