Bluefish isn't a WYSIWYG editor

Bluefish isn't a WYSIWYG editor

>>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.
