Greg...you seriously saying that you think Dreamweaver is easier to use than
FrontPage?
I think FP is a snap and DW is WAY confusing....maybe it's cuz I'm so used
to Microsoft products and the interface is just more intuitive for me, but I
don't see Dreamweaver (the more expensive of the two) being easier AT ALL

I won't speculate on her reasoning but I will point to a flaw in your
own (after all, you don't seem too shy to apply the method yourself).
People will spend money on tools they can use with minimal training
despite a cheaper priced alternative that provides too many challenges.
Your assertion that "it's the user, not the tool" is inaccurate and
serves people poorly. It's the same argument Sun used to use to ignore
valid arguments about the cost of creating enterprise systems (of
course, they weren't shy about price either so they had both barrels
loaded and aimed directly at their feet). Or the inverse of the
arguments that Microsoft used to successfully wipe out Word Perfect.
People who were actually trained in print production actually found Word
Perfect to be much better suited to their needs as electronic
typographers. But the larger market was the one Word was designed for
and the opinions of those experienced producers took a back seat.
