Was just in Berlin in the Air Frog exec lounge. Of course they had a Mac there. Hard to figure out, slow and the whole thing just not friendly to learn, and I have been working around computers since 1973 or so.
I use FP and FTP it to my site and it works fine. Hmmm, someone forgot to tell my site that it does not work. Agree with you about DW, its a bear to start out with.

I use Windows a lot, it's a completely different mindset, one that I do not enjoy at all. Still I'd rather use it than eat dirt, but you can do whatever floats your boat. It's like being in the UK and crossing the street. you nearly get run over a few times before you get used to looking right then left.
You can use FTP with FP if your server does not have FP extensions installed. It won't blow away your extensions because they are, let me see how to explain this simply, not installed. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they are not installed or you'd be using FP's publishing option which is a simpler way of doing things.
If the FP extensions are not installed you are not getting the full benefit of FP. And even if they are there it's not 100% that they will get hosed by FTP but there is a good chance, that's why I said "it can" not "it will". Minor difference in words but major difference in meaning.
