Re: Is there a free/cheap equivalent to Dreamweaver?

Hi,

Ignoring Mozilla's older NVU, and recent attempts (Bespin, Ace, 
SkyWriter), there is now: 1) KomPozer, as others have mentioned, and 2) 
SeaMonkey Composer, which is probably too lightweight of an editor for 
you. Two Mozilla-based commercial tools that might be worth considering 
are BlueGriffon and ActiveState's Komodo IDE.

http://www.openkomodo.com/

As for non-Mozilla-based open source tools...

Another person mentioned Oracle NetBeans IDE. If you're considering 
"IDEs", then also check out IBM Eclipse IDE. It has a web editor, has 
many plugins, is free, and multi-platform. Both are good platforms with 
similar features.

W3C's Amaya editor-browser might be of use. W3C uses Amaya to test their 
specs on, so it's good for standards-based editing (but not for 
Flash/Silverlight/etc). Perhaps too lightweight for full-time editor, 
but nice to render and perhaps tweak some content written in Vim (or Emacs).

There is also BlueFish. It has been around for a while for Unix, but 
recently added a Windows port.
