Not quite true.  I think even Dreamweaver 4 generated valid HTML by
default, and I know it can be lightly hacked[1] to produce valid
XHTML.  Dreamweaver MX and MX 2004 are even better, though I don't
know if they're guaranteed to produce valid markup by default.  I know
I can get Vim to :)

I don't know about Frontpage.  I think most people use it not because
they want to but because they use IIS with Frontpage extensions. 
Standards have never really been Microsoft's cup of tea.

> (anything that doesn't validate at validator.w3.org isn't HTML).

Agreed :)
