If you must have a WYSIWYG editor, I think the best one is DreamWeaver. It
comes bundled with HomeSite (for Windows) or BBEdit (for Mac).
This is really a winning combination. I was using HomeSite and loving it
before I got DreamWeaver. Now I find they meet my needs quite well.
Both FrontPage and PageMill are really mean about throwing in their own
proprietary codes, which just mess up your HTML code and really need to be
removed.
You'll find some good information about HTML editors on my Web site--Mary's
Tips on Designing Web Sites. http://www.superconnect.com/marystips/
Click on the "Getting Started" link in the Menu. When that page appears,
scroll to the "Get an HTML editor" heading and follow the links to some
really good info on the subject.
