Expertise
I no longer use Publisher to create websites, I prefer to have more control over website content. In my opinion Publisher works great for desktop publishing brochures, flyers, tickets, etc. If you run into a publishing issue with Publisher it can be frustrating to fix and sometimes necessary to redo.
