If Freeway Express or Freeway Pro are capable of the WYSIWYG production of 
webpages to the complete satisfaction of the author then how is it that "it 
misses the poiint entirely?" There are undoubtedly nuances in website 
creation that are not addressed by Freeway, but unless these nuances are 
needed/wanted by the website author than there absence is  irrelevant. It is 
almost like saying that a piano is a musical instrument that can't be 
recommended at all because it can't produce a continuous slide through the 
scale as can a violin.
