Rediscover Communication

I hate microsoft. I particularly hate frontpage. I blew an entire day trying to get their stupid frames to work. I am in the process of blowing another. Something so simple, and yet they somehow made it immensely complex. How can this be? The obviously wonderful feature of "My webs" completely renders any sort of coherent file access and relation and linking pointless. You modify a file. Save. Open it again. It is the old version. Delete it. It is still there. Open frontpage, and start a new "web". It takes you back to the old one, which you previously deleted. How can this be? Start over. Create a new file. Save it. Open file. It isn't there. Close Frontpage. Open it again. There it is. How can this be?
Are there any good open source editors that anybody knows about? I am || this close to deep sixing my pirated XP copy in favor of Linux.
ARGH.
