Apparently no one else cares, lol, but I started using expression web and thought I would offer my two cents.
Overall Microsoft did I nice job of keeping the user friendliness of frontpage while giving the features a TOTAL overhaul. There is so much more than you can do now and the layout is also greatly improved. I maintain one site that I built from ground up and I update our work website from home a lot and I had no problem loading both of these pages easily into EW and started right away editing them and playing with some of the new and improved features. In my opinion, It gives you the premium features dreamweaver users had access to, without having to know loads of coding. In all its pretty darn cool, but I have only scratched the surface.
You can download the 60-day trial from the microsoft website.
