[disclaimer -- I created a text formatting tool for Burroughs in the
early 70s that used embedded tags. It was somewhat derivative of IBM's
Text360. So markup tags and I go wayyyyy back.]
I have used HomeSite for years. Nick Bradbury created it, then sold it
to Allaire. THEY in turn either sold it to, or else where bought by,
Macromedia -- which also publishes DreamWeaver. I have tried DW, but the
only task I use it for seems to be populating tables (like on a calendar
grid).
FrameMaker is the only WYSIWIG editor that I really like. I've never
liked WYSIWYG HTML editors (starting with Netscape's when I worked
there). I always liked WordPerfect (pre-Windows) better than MSWord
because it gave you access to the embedded codes.
When I learned that Nick B had created TopStyle I ran to get it.
I still use HomeSite for simple nonCSS HTML work, but for CSS it's
TopStyle all the way. It's a great product and he maintains a blog at
http://nick.typepad.com/blog/ that keeps us abreast of new on TopStyle
and his other product, FeedDemon.
