I see Microsoft have launched Expression Web, a web building tool stepped up from Frontpage (ugghh!) program. Here’s 2 reasons why I’ll never use it:

  1. No support for the PHP coding language: Australian Personal Computer magazine report “completely ignores PHP”
  2. And this from APC: “There are built-in Accessibility and Browser Compatibility checking tools, though Mozilla, Opera and Firefox are absent from the list of browsers that Express Web checks your code against.”

Enough said. What a ridiculous approach. Firefox is a growing force in the browser wars, and it’d be silly (as many websites do, as they fall apart in Firefox) to ignore this market segment.
