Sounds useful, but do I have to use Frontpage to use Frontpage Extensions?

That is, apart from Frontpage itself, are there client products available
from other vendors which use Frontpage Extensions, or equivalent?

Is there a standard (or two) in the works to provide this sort of function?

ps: Thank you to the several people who sent similar responses off list, for
fear of flaiming. But as you can see, you all basically agreed. :-)
