This is a good product. I'm not going to go overboard in saying just how good because the truth of the matter is that I've not got anything to compare it to. I've built webpages using just plain old notepad for a few years now and never really understood the need for html editors. However, as I started spending more time coding I thought it time to investigate these tools.
Dreamweaver has been the lead editor for many years and as I've never used it I can't say if Expression is better. However, this is far far from the old front page. What I can say is that it has made life so much easier. You can set the screen so that you can see the source code and the resulting web page at the same time. You can change the code on either screen and it automatically changes the other. Each code element is in a different colour and as such makes it easier to find elements.
Interaction with the CSS file is done in a similiar way. There are prompts galore and lots of useful tips, especially the one that ensures you deliver 100% compliant code everytime.
Bottom line - if you're still using Notepad, buy this today, it will make your coding life much better.
My first project using this tool was www.freepspwallpapers.co.uk

I don't understand why Expression Web has grown in popularity. Microsoft really have come up trumps for once. Its a small install, way smaller than Dreamweaver, intuaitive and incredibly effective. Its also massivley cheaper than Adobes baby.
I have used Dreamweaver for sometime and it now seems to have gone the way of most Microsoft offerings. Its bloated, too complicated and annoyingly produces messy propriety code.
Expression Web just churns out fully XHTML compliant code and doesn't even add anything in the meta data to say its produced it. It links well with ASP pages and has enough .net snippets in there for those who want the power of asp pages but don't want to learn and has good design attributes. It also integrates nicely with Visual Studio.
Where it really shines though is the CSS creator. Its just so powerful and easy to use. Click on an item and open the css modifier and all the avaiable properties and attributes are there for you to play with. It will then neatly add them all into an external style sheet in full css 2 complaint code. This is a trick that Dreamweaver has been struggling with for a while now.
There are a couple of downsides though. The main one being that if your intersted in PHP, Perl or any of the other major non-Microsoft activei scripting languages you're out of luck. If you do a lot of work in these then take the Dreamweaver route. Also perversely the main work area uses a different rendering engine to IE so you'll to preview it outside of the main program.
Other than that, if pure XHTML with ASP and fanatstic CSS support is all you need then by this. Its streets ahead of Dremweaver in these areas...

Amazon Verified Purchase
First of all it installed easily and worked first time, unlike another well known web site tool which I had major traumas trying to install (on Windows Vista).
Have built a couple of web sites now and am very pleased with the tool. Once you get it set up and used to how it works, you can be quite productive - it has all the features I have needed so far, and they all seem to work well. Building, updating and publishing web sites all works smoothly.
It came with a free video tutorial which I watched and which definitely helped get started. The only slight frustration was that this did not include the lesson about building sites using CSS Layouts, which is now the "recommended" way to do it - so it was slightly frustrating that this key piece was missing. But, this was a taster of the fuller (non Microsoft) video tutorial which you have to pay for, so you can't really blame them for holding back on some good stuff.
