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

[unsolicited]

Have just learned of Amaya, http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ - W3C's blessed 
editor. Cross-platform even. FWIW.

Also, I see mention of using Eclipse.

Strangely, don't see anything WYSIWYG in the K/Ubuntu repositories. 
Including Blue Griffon - the re-uptook Kompozer 
(http://www.kompozer.net/ - "Latest stable version: 0.7.10 
(2007-08-30)", vs http://bluegriffon.org/ - "BlueGriffon 1.7.2 released 
19-jun-2013").
