While I'm at it, a WYSIWYG HTML-editor is one of the things I truly miss on Linux. (Last time I checked Mozilla composer was 'WYSIWYG' but certainly not 'HTML' ... ) I've even resorted to using wine+frontpage express once! I'm hearing that Quanta has something in the works, let's keep our fingers crossed.

>>Amaya is WYSIWIG, and is Open Source.<<
And with its connection to W3C the code tends to be standard compliant and relatively simple (unlike the mess that comes from a horror like Frontpage).
I have been know to crank something out in Amaya in then drag it over to Bluefish for polishing. I know some people are really bothered by the idea of using 2 tools instead of having it all in one but I don't see the problem. I just use each tool for what it does best.
I know I CAN do non-WYSIWYG in Amaya but I prefer Bluefish for that part.
The only MS tool for which I have found no real replacement is Visio, specifically some of the magic I can do with the pencil tool. I keep hoping something like Dia will get there.

You are both right.
Amaya is a pretty good (and even free) wysiwyg html editor. The reason I forgot/discounted it is that it doesn't do my own homepage perfectly (ok, so I use two nested tables for layout, shoot me) so I've had no use for it and have counted is somewhat as a disappointment.
I could see myself using Amaya for a from-scratch project just the same way the other writer suggests, throwing out a layout, then hand-code the rest of it somewhere else. This is how I've always done web-pages anyway, first do a quick mock-up in Frontpage/FP express/whatever, then finish the work by hand.

Oops, you're right, <a href="http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/">Bluefish</a> isn't WSYWIG, the article has been updated.
