[kwlug-disc] What are people using to write HTML with?

[unsolicited]

Thanks, had lost sight of Sea Monkey.

(Linspire sponsored) Nvu -> KompoZer -> Blue Griffon
(per wp)

- there was a large / long gap in mind time, eventually picked up again 
and turned into Blue Griffon. And he's trying to make a living / buy 
food, so has become a hybrid (too little functionality vis a vis the 
FOSS 'competition') with for fee add-ons. Bits that actually make it 
useful in today's environment. e.g. CSS, XML.

Had been maintaining an awareness of the evolution (waiting) for some 
years, but had lost sight of things like Sea Monkey - thanks for the 
reminder.

Brutal slow, like I said, on my dual-core Atom Win laptop - as I have 
seen a number of other things recently. I'm guessing due to java.

Seems one gets away from some things for a while and the world keeps 
moving on in the mean time. Harumph! In this (these) cases the hardest 
part seems to be not knowing what you're looking for (e.g. what's 
possible, CSS, XML, code completion, etc. wise) until after you know 
what you're looking for / that you're already there.
