You must be kidding
Scobleizer: A Tale of Two Tech Industry "Leaders"
"But UserLand is building the damn coolest Web publishing tool I've ever seen (and that's no bullshit, I've been using all the best publishing tools since I discovered PageMaker in 1987 and FrontPage in 1996)."
You know that acronym "LOL", right? Laugh out loud. Well, it's overused. Most of the time when people use it in emails or in IM conversations, I highly doubt they are actually lauging out loud.
Well let me assure you, when I read the quote above, I was LOL. I wasn't quite ROTFLMAO, but close.
FrontPage? OMG. You must be kidding me. _vti_ugh If FrontPage is one of the best publishing tools, then I'm worried about UserLand.

This is why I’m no good at marketing. It just feels so… greasy.

He’s talking about early FrontPage, although I don’t think it’s early
enough. In 1994, Vermeer created FrontPage, and it was really ahead of
it’s time. It was second only to NaviPress, in my opinion, as a web
publishing tool. Then Microsoft bought Vermeer (and FrontPage) and AOL
bought NaviPress.

Yeah, I know about the history of it all… but I’ve always hated
FrontPage. And frankly, I’ve never heard of a web-oriented package with
a worse reputation among professionals than FrontPage has. I mean, I’ve
seen webmaster job postings for that said “FrontPage users need not
apply”.
