I've used  DreamWeaver, Nvu, Screem, and now Quanta Plus. Tried Amya, 
BlueFish etc. They all have there pluses and minuses.

I went with most of those because of the WYSIWYG ability, however, I 
find I hardly use that anymore even in Quanta. Partly because its page 
render dosen't do the job. I usually end up opening the file on a 
browser or three and viewing the WYG there. (Edit, save, switch to 
browser, update. repeat)

All of them have failed me at times. Quanta is nice cause it adds 
closing tags automatically and tries to match them when editing. 
However, sometimes it gets confused and changes the wrong closing tag 
and makes a right mess of things. When This happens I have to open the 
code in a test editor and manually repair the damage.
