frontpage replacement?

There are any number of decent programs out there. You can use frontpage is "neutered" mode (only using the editor) and it is pretty decent overall. It isn't any worse than any others out there.

You have to be VERY careful in WYSIWYG editors, as many of them add tons of useless code that needs to be removed before your site is usable. This is often the case with table (one editor adds tons of useless invisible gifs to space things out, others will create weird overlays and such).

Truly the best thing? Use whatever editor they want, but convince them to learn a little html as well. They will do much better when they understand what is going on under the hood.
